A friend and former colleague, best known these days by his blogroll name of Randball, must be on a baseball trip to Milwaukee. He has tweeted tonight that Milwaukee Brewers fans view games at Miller Park as nothing more than an opportunity to buy $7 beers. Mr. Randball also calls Brewers fans the “worst fans ever.”
I would argue that Philadelphia Phillies fans, who in just recent weeks have had a fan intentionally vomit on an 11-year-old, had a fan tasered for running onto the field and then the next night had another moron run onto the field in copycat fashion, have to at least be in the mix for worst fans (though Philadelphia fans certainly are more knowledgeable than most).
I don’t know who the best fans or the worst fans are in baseball. Do you have any thoughts? If so, I’d like to hear them.

Milwaukee is pretty bad. Definitely seen plenty of Brewers fans hauled out by security for being so irate that the Twins were depantsing them (not the case this week). I recall one game where Prince hit a ball off the top of the fence and it stayed in the yard and they did not give him the homerun (because it wasn’t one), one fan walked up and down the aisles flicking off and yelling F**K YOU! to every Twins fan in the section. Now that is class! He was removed by security to the delight of the crowd.
Brewers fans also never stay sitting for a visitors at bat. Bases can be loaded with Morneau up with a full count and they are going to get up to get a hotdog and walk infront of you as slow as possible.
No class in Milwaukee.
