I normally sit in the nose-bleed seats, but even from decent seats it's rare that the players can actually hear the heckling - you have to be fairly close. The last game I was at I sat very close to the action and was amazed at the filth I heard the Braves fans laying on the Astros players - comments about their wives, etc. Yes, the players could hear them, and yes, the looks on their faces showed the same disgust that I was feeling. It doesn't warrant throwing objects in the stands, or even responding, but the ushers could be trained to keep an eye on the fans sitting closest to where the players walk, and toss their lousy *sses when they behave like they are from Philadelphia.
