Fan in Boston gets g/u bat taken away
As im sittin here watching the Red Sox/Yankees game, Mike Lowell was up to bat in the bottom of the 2nd and his bat went flying into the stands. The bat hit a fan but he held onto the bat. The fan sat back down in his seat and held the bat up as he was looking at it. Within SECONDS, security runs down and literally grabs the bat out of the fans hands and runs back up the steps. The camera was still on the fan and you could clearly see how confused he was as he threw up his hands.

ya...lol i just saw yours too. That sucks for the fan that they just took the bat from him like they did. I thought anything going in the stands was fair game?? Security pretty much ripped the bat from the fans hands.

Maybe they were worried he got injured and wanted to destroy the evidence.

Re: Fan in Boston gets g/u bat taken away
no idea. the camera was on the guy long enough to show him confused and upset. Then it went back to the ballgame. From what I saw, I'd guess that was that since the security guy didnt say anything to the fan. He literally walked down, grabbed the bat out of the fans hands, and went back up the steps. You couldnt snap your fingers quicker than what happened.

Re: Fan in Boston gets g/u bat taken away
Does Fenway have a no bat policy? I know that Comerica Park does not allow fans to possess bats in the park. If you buy a bat from Marc at the Authentics booth, I believe they hold onto it until the end of the game or whenever you leave the stadium. Maybe the guard will hold onto it until the end of the game and then give it to the fan.
Just a thought...

Re: Fan in Boston gets g/u bat taken away
In any case that was really an abrasive way of handling the situation. A paying customer (who paid a premium at Fenway to see the Yankees) gets hit with a flying bat and gets the bat abruptly yanked out of his hands. No "sir are you ok after that flying projectile hit you". If this happened in Yankee stadium there would be a lawsuit in the making.
