Taking the Rivalry Too Far

I have no problem with baseball rivalries and fans showing their pride for their teams. However, this is completely inexcusable and I hope and expect this woman to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

After a Red Sox-Yankees argument spilled outside a bar, a Yankee fan aimed her car at a group of people to scare them and didn't brake, hitting and killing a man, authorities and witnesses said.

The Yankees fan, Ivonne Hernandez, was arraigned Monday on reckless second-degree murder and drunken driving charges and was held without bail. She did not enter a plea.

Hernandez, 43, was speeding early Friday toward a small group that included the man, Matthew Beaudoin, 29, and never hit her brakes, a prosecutor said Monday.

"She accelerated at a high speed for about 200 feet. She went directly at this group of people," prosecutor Susan Morrell said. "She indicated to police that she wanted to scare this group of people. She thought they would get out of the way."

Beaudoin died of massive head trauma at a hospital, Morrell said.

It doesn't matter that Yankee fan Ivonne Hernandez wanted to just scare those Red Sox fans. She got behind the wheel in a drunken state, and used the vehicle as a deadly weapon. She killed Matthew Beaudoin, who died of his injuries at the hospital.
