Offensive defense
After the pathetic disgrace at the end of the 4/23 Cleveland Guardians game, announcers correctly noted that there was plenty of video to identify those disgusting “fans” who abused the visiting outfielders at Yankee Stadium. Instead the Yankees cowered behind, “…the incident unfolded as many were leaving the stadium, so identifying the offenders was difficult.” Well I’m born in the Bronx 70 years ago and have been a Yankee fan my whole life, but I know garbage when I see it!! And these “fans” were garbage. Come on Yanks, show some class! Find these jerks and ban them from the Stadium! Haven’t we learned by now what happens when we ignore bullying?
