World Series Security

Max Power · 10-28-2002, 04:39 PM

In 2000 and 2001, in New York, you really had to pass the gauntlet, security-wise, in order to get into the ballpark to see the Series. Plus, you were not allowed to bring in just about anything.

In the post-9/11 world, this all made sense.

Watching the games in Anaheim, I kept wondering - - how the heck did people get in all those stuffed monkeys, etc.? I saw one stuffed monkey that had to be 3'x4' - - - - and, what about the guys in the gorilla suits? How did they get in?

Are we now past the concern about ballpark security?

Or, will it just be a NY thing now?

probably just a new york thing.

as a side note, i often disagree with buck mccarver, but they were right on about the need to throw out that girl who hit reggie sanders with thunderstix

Ah yes...I wax nostagically for Bat Days past.

Inflatable or not, you just don't hit a guy on the back in the OF!

I think it's now a pat down and a check for concealment. You can bring in things if they are checked.

At the beginning of the year Pac Bell Park had restrictions on bags coming into the park. I used to bring a back pack, especially if I rode my bike. I found out late in the season that back packs were allowed in the park. It was subject to search, but at least you could bring it in. I brought it with me to the NLCS, since I rode my bike to the game I attended. I did not bring a bag to the WS game that I attended. It did not seem that there was extra security at the gatee.

I read that she was thrown out...the whole thing could ahve been avoided if she was never let in for that bad hair 'do alone.

I guess it's hard to police what can be allowed into a stadium when you're supplying those thunder things

-- I'm assuming they were given out at the door?

sounds like the regular games at YS this year had more security than many of the playoff games elsewhere...
