Rockies home opener

[Gman]

I was just thinking about how the times have changed in our society and as a result, in baseball. I remember going to games as a kid on "bat night". Everyone got a full-sized, wood, baseball bat. Here you had a crowd of 50K+, each armed with what could be a "weapon", and nothing came of it. I don't remember anyone getting into drunken brawls at a game. Over time, "bat night" shrunk to a miniature wooden bat and there were more drunks at the game. I haven't gone to games for quite some time, but I would imagine "bat night" has been reduced to an inflatable facsimile of a bat.
