Let me see if I understand you correctly? From what you say in this post it seems you feel a paying customer heckling a player at an MLB game should be dragged from the stands and beaten nearly to death(at least) with baseball bats. Since you use the plural "bats" I assume you mean that the heckled players teammates should join in on this "merciless" on-field beating you advocate.
Sir, what you are supporting is the felony crime of "assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill".If the "merciless beating" you favor happened to kill the fan, the players involved would be guilty of murder! So, am I correct in assuming that you think it's justifiable for a professional athlete to maim or kill anyone at a game who dares jeer him?
Besides the harm to the man being beaten,have you thought through the practicle implications of what you favor. Such a beating would invariably result in a huge riot breaking out in the stadium. This could very well result in lots of innocent fans being hurt or killed.Does anybody want the very violent type of riot that occurs at some European soccer matches(and results in many deaths) breaking out in a baseball stadium where they're watching a game with their kids?If you have kids, would you want them in such a place with all hell breaking loose?If you're fine with all this, then you have some very deep problems!
There will always be loud-mouthed drunken bums at MLB games. If they get out of line they should be hauled away by the police and arrested.But, there is NO PLACE in MLB for players who physically attack the bums who verbally abuse them during games. These players are professionals, and should act accordingly.Crowd control at ball games is the job of law enforcement professionals. They should handle the louts.The players are there to play ball. They should stick to playing the game!!
