Seems like the lockout in Major League Baseball is going well with baseball fans. Because on Sunday, a baseball fan vandalized Petco Park by driving his SUV all over the ballpark. Notably, Petco Park is situated in San Diego, California and it is the home stadium of MLB side San Diego Padres.
Well, with the lockout, MLB has paused any baseball activities until players do not agree to the collective bargaining agreement. And baseball fans are definitely not glad about it. After the World Series win of the Atlanta Braves over Houston Astros, fans have not gotten to see a single game in the ballpark.
