Guardians’ Myles Straw taunted by Yankees fans day after ugly incident, ‘worst fan base’ comments

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Myles Straw was the subject of taunts at Yankee Stadium Sunday, just one day after he suggested the Yankees have the “worst fan base on the planet. “

Straw made the comments after fans at the stadium pelted Cleveland outfielders with high-priced concessions Saturday in a chaotic scene moments after New York rallied for a 6-5 win. After a crowd taunted a Guardians player, Straw was seen climbing the left field wall to confront one fan.

Following the confrontation as well as his fan base comments, a section of Yankees fans, known as Bleacher Creatures, were heard greeting Straw Sunday with chants of “Crybaby!”

Straw received boos as starting lineups were announced and fans also taunted him by yelling “Peter Parker!” This is likely to be a reference to him climbing up the wall Spiderman-like.

Meanwhile, Yankees star Aaron Judge clapped toward the bleachers Sunday as he took a position in right field. He was one of the Yankees’ stars who urged fans to stop throwing garbage during Saturday’s incident.

The chaos on Saturday started with one out in the ninth inning when Isiah Kiner-Falefa scored a game-tying double that went over the head of Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan, who crashed into the left field fence. Straw and the fan were then confronted.

“I was just hot at that point,” Straw said, via The Athletic. “Just telling them to be quiet. Shut up. There’s no business, what you’re saying to this guy right now.'”

After the initial incident, play resumed and Yankees pinch hitter Gleyber Torres lined a single to right-center for the game-winner.

As the Guardians outfielder Oscar Mercado chased the ball in a gap, Straw described it as a “beer parade” and several fans began throwing objects at them. “

“You can see [the debris], from a mile away,” Straw stated via the outlet. “So, just trying to avoid the beer bottles. Our bullpen was also getting hit with them. It’s not surprising to me. “

After the game, he said the Yankees fans were “classless,” and called them the “worst fan base on the planet,” leading to the additional tensions. Security was increased for Sunday’s game between the MLB teams. A guard was located at the bottom in each aisle in right field.
