Ed Lee is trying to curb the centuries-old tradition of hurling peanuts, beer, and obscenities at fans of the visiting team, according to the SF Examiner:
Giants fans, try not to hassle that Los Angeles Dodgers fan braving this weeks games at AT&T Park. He or she might be a cop.
Undercover officers are donning gear from the hated Dodgers during the current three-game series in an effort to enforce civility and prevent episodes like the one last year at Dodger Stadium in which Giants fan Bryan Stow was beaten until he was comatose.
Certainly the rivalry between the Giants and the Dodgers is as hot as its ever been, Mayor Ed Lee said. We want to do everything possible that we can to make our city continue to be safe.
Seems unnecessary considering how civil Giants fans are (except towards city infrastructure during a successful playoff season, of course). Where does Ed think he is? Oakland?
Anyway, I suppose I'll be leaving my nail-spiked bat at home…

Wow, narcs at the ball game. Wonder if they’ll be writing people tickets for just heckling??? Just hope post game patrolling of the parking lots is part of they’re plan, isn’t that where most fans of a visiting team are usually bludgeoned into near death comas or stabbed?
heck,we feel sorry for the dodger’s fan’s. In the past we have heckeled and said shit to Dodgers fans down at the cove,but it was all fun,usally shared a bowl and a beer with them afterwards…Have even had dodger and cardenail fans tell us that the Giants have the nicest fan base…..so much for offering to smokem out/kick down any of that norcal flavors…..new meaning to the “boys in blue” LA sucks.
Ed Lee has to be the most ridiculous SF mayor I never voted for.
