How far is TOO far?
...."Barry Bonds, who played just 14 games in 2005 after undergoing three arthroscopic surgeries on his right knee, went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored for the Giants. He enters the season with 708 career homers, seven shy of passing Babe Ruth (714) for second all-time and 48 short of surpassing Hank Aaron (755) for the all-time lead.
The embattled slugger endured an offseason full of controversy amid reports of steroid use. The Padre fans voiced their displeasure each time that Bonds was involved in a play on Monday, and one person threw a needle-less syringe at him from the stands after he grounded out in the ninth."....

Whether you agree or disagree with the fact that Barry Bonds is permitted to keep playing, do you think this is crossing the line?

DO i think that is going to far...sure
one of my first baseball games i was seated right next tothe Mets dugout and someone ran down and threw a bag underneath
the bag came flying back up from the dugout and it was a baggie of white powder
i am assuming was supposed to be cocaine 
The thing is...if he, Barry Bonds, did do steriods....well i understand the outrage as well...
and i think think that they shouldn't be playing ANY baseball what-so-ever...
people build these guys up...they get pand millions of dollars to do what they do...and for it to turn out that they did steriods...well it is an utter disappointment...and i understand that as well

Yes tossing needleless syringes is crossing the line. Taunting is just part of the game though.
And for the record, if they prove steroid use, they should be tossed out of baseball for life.

Re: How far is TOO far?
throwing items at players is too fay. regardless of what that player did.
we went to a toronto blue jays/yankee game and every time giambi came up to bat the crowd would yell "steriods." which was pretty funny. is it hurtful? yes, but nothing is being thrown

Re: How far is TOO far?
Anytime that ANYthing is thrown then I think its too far. Needleless or not, it could still hit someone and hurt them.
Until someone proves without a doubt that heused roids, then I will not judge.

Re: How far is TOO far?
I don't like the idea of steroid use at all and I think it taints some of the accomplishments of these players, since they had "help". But wasn't steroid use NOT illegal back when some of these players were heavily using? If so, I think it would be unfair to kick them out for breaking rules that didn't exist (if they stopped using after the rules changed, thought I bet many didn't).
On topic, I think that was a tacky thing to do.

Re: How far is TOO far?
I am not a huge baseball fan, but lived in San Francisco for many years and went to some Giant games. Fans from visiting teams LOVED taunting Bonds more than any other player, and this was long before the steroid use controversy was going on. I am not really that shocked that this happened.
But to answer your original question, I think it is completely over the line.
