Sheffield interference fan loses Red Sox season tickets for 2005

wilheim · Apr 18, 2005

BOSTON (AP) The spectator who interfered with New York Yankees right fielder Gary Sheffield had his season tickets for 2005 revoked Monday by the Boston Red Sox.

A fan who spilled beer on Sheffield was prohibited from buying tickets for the rest of the season.

The resolution announced by the Red Sox does not ban the men from Fenway Park this year and leaves it up to the club to decide whether the season ticket holder, Chris House, will get those tickets reinstated for 2006.

''We selected a course of action that we thought was appropriate and enforceable,'' club spokesman Glenn Geffner said. The Yankees praised the decision.

For brevity's sake I cut the story short.

"The Red Sox said House would receive full reimbursement when he returns his 2005 tickets. It did not release the name of the other spectator".

I think he should have lost the seats. I am not sure if he should be allowed to puchase them again next season, or any future season for that matter. The NBA brawl and Ron Artest changed and ruined a lot of things for everyone. It made us look at things differently. Probably saved Sheff a major blemish on his career.
