And Dodger Fans Get Crap Just for Arriving Late

From "Mets fan charged with trying to distract Braves" (AP/FOXSports.com):

A 40-year-old man was arrested at Shea Stadium on Friday night after he tried to distract an Atlanta Braves pitcher and shortstop with a high-powered flashlight.

Frank Martinez was charged with interference with a professional sporting event and second-degree reckless endangerment, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said Saturday.

Martinez was accused of flashing the powerful light in the eighth inning. Martinez was sitting near the Mets dugout behind home plate and ejected from the game.

"The defendant's alleged actions recklessly endangered the lives of players and spectators and caused a temporary delay to the game," Brown said.
