With World Baseball Classic being over with Team Japan taking the win home, spring training is about to come to an end. The regular season is less than ten days away. During this time, MLB has remained successful in keeping its fans on the edge of their seats. But it seems like before the season even started, the New York Yankees had a troubled fan among themselves.
Most recently, a fan has been spotted dressed up in baseball gear in multiple spring training games sprinting in the bleachers and trying to catch as many home run balls as possible. However, in one of the recent spring training games between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, the same man appeared. As soon as Jomboy Media’s Twitter handle posted a clip of the fan, other fans started talking about him and how his antics are infuriating them.
New York Yankees fans are beyond frustrated with the home run ball stealer!

He’s been stealing balls from kids all training camps. He’s not someone I’d give any platform to

This guy was playing catch with a kid in the right field bleachers and hit a lady behind him in the face with the ball. Bloody nose and everything. He didn’t even apologize to her. Never meet your heroes.

Although there are a few who like this fan and many who don’t, there is one who wrote about a horrific incident that took place in the right-field bleachers with this fan. However, the truth about the incident is yet to be known.
