At the game? Why was he booed?

He is facing assault charges for tackling a couple of cameramen.

Ah, thanks. I did search at CNN before I asked, but it didn't turn up anything obvious.

Here's a link to some appalling teammate comments, along with a bit of background. (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/07/09/sports/s144950D83.DTL&hw=kenny+rogers&sn=008&sc=442)

oooo!
I'm such a doof.

I was wondering why Kenny Rogers, The Gambler, was booed at a baseball game...I mean, his voice isnt what it used to be and all, but sheesh!


it makes more sense now.

Is he *allowed* to say stop? I'd think his contract would say something about that aspect. Although violence is clearly a bad choice.
