I certainly don't see having cell phones at a baseball park as a problem. However, I do think that it's very stupid to be on the thing the entire game. I mean people in general are always chatting on their cell phones about absolutely nothing wherever you go. It's just a lot easier to do at the ballpark becasue you're sitting there for 3 hours.
Personally, I don't see it as a distraction if someone near you is on the phone. The only time I got distracted at a game was when I thought some drunk guy was talking to me so I turned my head and missed Mark McGwire hit his 3rd HR of the game in '99 I think it was. That was agreat game. It was in Philly and I was at home deciding whether to even go to the game because I had free tickets. So I was watching it at home and as soon as McGwire hit his 2nd, I ran out of the house, hopped on the speedline and got there in plenty of time to almost see his 3rd. Damn drunks.
