I am not a Legal Beagle, so maybe someone here with a legal background can speak on it better than myself.

My guess is that the jerk who threw the peanuts could be charged with assault, but more than likely he would get a fine and some community service, if that.

Perhaps, we can agree that something needs to be done regarding this issue. The MLB needs to did a way to protect its players from abuse. If that means going after each ball club, then so be it.

I saw that Adam Jones did get a standing ovation when he was at the plate today. It sure if it helps, but I think that some of the white fans in Boston are recognizing that racism has not place in the game, so least I hope?
