From the Gothamist:
Baseball fan Brad Campeau-Laurion says a uniformed police officer (perhaps off-duty but working security for overtime) forcibly ejected him from the stadium last night during the Yankees-Red Sox game.
Why? He says all he did was try to go to the bathroom while “God Bless America” was played during the 7th inning stretch.
Last year, the NY Times looked at this confining policy.

I’ve written about my own experiences sitting during GBA at the Stadium. It was brutal. And I was a Yankees fan then! (Red Sox now. I had a mid-life religious conversion.)
The Stadium becoming increasingly fascist and militaristic was one of the many things that pushed me away.
Nice post.
