Column: Dodgers want fans fired up for Game 5. ‘Bring the energy, but be smart about it.’

SAN DIEGO —

The last time a baseball game was played at Dodger Stadium, the evening descended into madness.

Players chirping at one another, fine. Fans cheering their team’s players and jeering the other team’s players, fine. Fans tossing baseballs and beverages at opposing players on the field, not fine.

On Friday, the playoffs return to Dodger Stadium, with the season on the line for the Dodgers and the visiting San Diego Padres.

The Dodgers would like to remind you that the last thing they need is for their own fans, even a handful of them, to engage in behavior so stupid that it stirs up the Padres or, worse, endangers someone.
