The Yankees fan next poured the BBQ sauce onto the hair of the poor Mets fan. It was too late when he noticed what was actually happening to him. In an attempt at getting rid of the sauce, it ended up spilling onto the shirt of another Yankees fan, which made them angry at the person responsible.
This is not the first time the Yankees and Mets fans teased each other. Both teams have a long-standing rivalry, and on most occasions, they get into brawls.
