actually, I hate to say it, but in the late '77-'78, Red Sox "fans" (to use a nice phrase for them) used throw batteries at Mickey Rivers. Red Sox and Yankees had a huge, huge fight in '76, which kind of kicked off the really abusive fan behavior of that era. Rivers was one of the bad actors in the fight, along with Greg Nettles, but that era in Boston, Rivers being out in CF under a 20' wall, kind of meant he was the one who got abused (even though Nettles was the SOB who ruined Bill Lee's career).
NY/Philly/Boston/Chicago thing. Morons all around.
