It's time to allow fans to run out on the field when their team wins the championship

[bluestateguy]

I'm sick and tired of the damn police being involved in so many places where they don't need to be. One of those places is the stadium when a team wins the World Series. In the good old days of baseball, when a team won the World Series in front of the home crowd, the fans stormed the field. It was a fine tradition, as this old video of the 1924 World Series shows.

But since the mid-1980's, this is no longer allowed. A symptom of our hypersensitive, overprotective culture (witness all of the hysteria associated with trick-o-treating). Now as soon as Game 7 of the Series is over, the police fan out and turn the field into an armed fortress. If you run out onto the field you get arrested, and celebrating your team's World Series win is turned into a police matter. Aren't there better things the police could be doing? It's time to restore this great American baseball tradition.
