San Francisco revives its stoner reputation

It's bad enough that San Francisco football fans are ridiculed, what with drinking white wine spritzers in the stands and all that.   Now baseball fans are becoming famous for being stoners.

Californians may well pass a marijuana legalization law, putting them squarely in defiance of the big government in Washington most Californians claim is a good thing - but it hasn't happened yet, so Dallas sports anchor Newy Scruggs became a YouTube hit when he noted people were smoking weed outside AT&T Park before Game 1 of the World Series and "the police aren't doing anything."


Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton, who has addiction issues, wasn't pleased.  "I could smell weed in the outfield. It was crazy. I was looking at the cops a couple of times during the game."
