It’s not too often that a team can win on a ninth-inning rally and walk-off hit but manage to have the moment ruined by fans. Yet, that was exactly what happened in Saturday’s 5-4 Yankees win over the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium.
It had Guardians center fielder Myles Straw blasting *all* Yankees fans after the game.
The incident unfolded in the ninth inning after Guardians rookie Steven Kwan took a hard collision into the left-field wall trying to make a catch. Kwan was a bit shaken up but remained in the game. And as he was getting attended to, Guardians outfielders Straw and Oscar Mercado took exception to Yankees fans taunting Kwan for getting hurt. Straw climbed up on the wall to confront a fan who was flashing a lewd gesture.
