Another interesting quote from David Howard:
But, typically, when people go to their seats, they just drop it (garbage) on the floor, which is sort of a baseball tradition
On Opening Day my son asked about that. Â He wanted to throw his garbage away and his uncivilized dad told him to throw it on the floor in front of his seat. Â He questioned me about it like 5 times. Â Yep, go ahead.
He had a ball with the idea of it and later in the game he gleefully chucked his cup down.
It really is odd behavior. Â How did this begin and why are we such animals?

All today’s David Howard fun comes from this article in the Times in which we also learn there are no modifications that could cut down the wind at Citi Field.
