Witness LeBron Heat Fan Ejected At Indians Game

Fan ejected from Jacobs Field for wearing LeBron James jersey
A reader to sportsbybrooks.com was at the game and sent in this account of what happened:
A guy walked into the bleacher seats wearing a LeBron James Miami Heat Jersey. He was booed violently, and by the fifth Inning, people were throwing peanuts and beer cups at him.
That’s when police escorted him out of the section. While walking down the stairs, a guy knocked the beer cup out of his hand, and started swearing at him. By the end of the row, a fat guy in a green shirt (who was previously flicking him off), got up in his face. The police had to restrain him from attacking the Yankees & Indians fans who were booing him.
His girlfriend, who had been flicking people off and swearing was shoved to the ground by a guy in a grey shirt. She started crying, and also had to be restrained.
The police officers who escorted him out, got a standing ovation from the entire bleacher section.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Heat didn’t step in and offer a consolation prize to the fan in order to engender some sort of positive public reaction. Protip to Heat p.r.: Don’t offer Marlins tickets.
