Yankees Fan Reportedly Got Ejected From Game 4 After Taunting Astros Starter Zack Greinke
By Karl Rasmussen
Well, Yankees fans were warned that they need behave prior to Game 4 of the ALCS, and it seems the organization wasn't afraid to take action against those who couldn't function like proper adults in a public setting.
According to reports, a Yankees fan was ejected from the game after belittling Astros starter Zack Greinke, making hostile comments about the hurler's mother and his struggles with social anxiety.

There was a heavy police presence inside the Houston's bullpen and in the left field bleachers. https://t.co/KKttOw75Wy
This fan didn't even get to catch a sniff of the actual game, as he was sent packing during the Astros' starters warmup pitches in the team's bullpen prior to the game.
Good riddance.
It's one thing to talk to trash to an opposing player, and considering it's October, a bit of trash talk is probably warranted. But to go after someone's struggles with social anxiety, and to drag Greinke's mother into the taunting is entirely unnecessary.
AJ Hinch says he will pull his team off the field if fans start throwing objects into the field again

AJ Hinch had also reported that Yankees fans were throwing objects, including bottles, onto the field in the direction of Astros players. Hinch went as far as to threaten to remove his players from the field if the antics continued.
While things didn't escalate that far during the game, this one Yankees fan rightfully got the boot before first pitch was even underway.
