NY Yankees use private security to remove home fans at away games

Apparently the Yankees hire security separate from the home stadium and city's security to remove fans of the home team that are deemed too loud or obnoxious. [quote]Fans of Toronto beware: the New York Yankees can pretty much kick any fan out of Rogers Centre. How you ask? Bullpen trolls. Individuals paid to travel with the team to enforce and control the fan environment that their players participate in. On the surface, this may seem harmless, but on Friday night during the Blue Jays-Yankees matchup, these individuals preyed on fans who did nothing but be fans. They told the Yankees bullpen staff they sucked, booed them, creatively chirped them and then, as if a threat to the safety of these players, these fans were removed by police, one bloodied and arrested. To eschew any accusations of bias, I and many others in our section witnessed two individuals in Yankees jackets, complete with Yankees lanyard ID tags walk into our seating area and point out to Toronto police two fans who were chirping and heckling the Yankees bullpen. One individual, who was later violently arrested, did nothing but look at these two Yankees “men in black”. [/quote] Well, reason #2,439 why the Yankees suck professionally.
