One of the great paradoxes of freedom is that one of the things our flag stands for ... is the freedom to burn it. Banning burning it would be a diminution of liberty, and so would be a greater dishonor to those who fought and died for it than the burning itself.
However proud you are of our great nation, national pride is meaningless if it's compelled.
On the other hand, the umps would be well within their rights to penalize the home team for fan interference with the game, and burning anything in a crowd like that is also likely assault or possibly arson; disturbing the peace at the very least.
