OT - Do Not Make A Bad Call (1940)
 
This fan was obviously upset. Note people laughing and some kind of security guard watching.

Maybe alcohol induced rage or just a really bad call? Tough crowd in Brooklyn.

Wow amazing picture and the story on the back is interesting.

Little Scary about some fans passions and aggressions

Really Interesting story.
Thanks for sharing those LINKS
IF I was that umpire I am not sure I would have dropped the charges but I would not have shaken his hand

Reminds me of this 1865 Harper's Weekly woodcut of a game between the Brooklyn Atlantic and Philadelphia Athletic. When you look closely, there's one guy knocking out the other.

What was the attendance ? End of the game, mid September pennant race. Looks like all the fans dispersed quickly…

Wow! Amazing picture and story.

Offhanded observation, does anyone else see a resemblance in the security guard to a young John Wayne?

Wow, and that was against the Reds...imagine if it was against the Giants. Those Brooklyn fans could be a bit prickly at times. Case in point.
