Unfortunately, the New York Yankees walk-off win over the Cleveland Guardians was overshadowed by their fan base’s inexcusable actions.
After Gleyber Torres hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning, fans in right field started throwing drinks and garbage at Myles Straw and Oscar Mercado of the Guardians.
Things got so out of hand that Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton had to run out to right field to tell the fans to stop.
Following the win, Yankees manager Aaron Boone was asked about the fans’ behavior late in the game. He told reporters, “There’s no place for throwing stuff on the field.”

Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who hit a game-tying double in the bottom of the ninth inning, had a similar message during his postgame press conference.
“That can’t happen … I love the fans, love the atmosphere, but we win with class,” Kiner-Falefa said.
There’s no sugarcoating how bad of a look this was for the Yankees’ fan base. Hopefully, we never see a scene like this again at Yankee Stadium.
