Last season, Cam Schlittler, who grew up a Red Sox fan, quickly became a villain to Boston after the Yankees ace threw eight scoreless innings in Game 3 of the wild-card series to eliminate the Red Sox from the playoffs.
Ever since that game in October, in which Schlittler had 12 strikeouts, Red Sox fans have continued to harass Schlittler and his family. Some death threats were even sent to him and his family. The pitcher told the New York Post this week that he receives harsh comments “every week ... every day,” not necessarily the death threats as often. He hasn’t felt the need to involve police yet, but that’s still an option if things get worse.
