WATCH: Ugly Scenes Unfold as New York Yankees Fans Throw Garbage at Rival Team Players After Walk-off Win
The New York Yankees did manage to get a win against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday in the Bronx. But the misbehavior done by the Pinstripes fans overshadowed the thrilling victory. After a late win on Saturday, the Yankees fans did not even hesitate to show their disrespect towards the opposition players.
Notably, the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians played their second game of the three-game series in the Bronx on Saturday. Players like Gleyber Torres and Isiah Kiner-Falefa snatched the game from the Guardians’ jaw in the ninth inning.
Had the Guardians won this game against the Yankees, the series would have been tied by 1-1. But with this win, the Yankees sealed the series against the Guardians. Now, even if the Yankees do not win the third, i.e., the last game of the series, they have already won the series against a top side like the Cleveland Guardians.
