Regarding fans at Yankee Stadium taunting Zack Greinke over personal issues, for his sake, I wished at the time that he had been traded to a National League team.
Not only for his hitting but, as Randy Johnson learned, New York Yankee fans are obnoxious. No other team's fans have gone this far. Not even the NY Mets. The people in Queens are more civilized than the Bronx.
NJ.com’s Brendan Kuty reports that at least one Yankees fan was ejected from the stadium on Thursday night as fans hurled insults towards Game 4 starter Zack Greinke while he warmed up in the bullpen.
Fans, Kuty notes, insulted Greinke’s mother was well as his well-publicized battles with social anxiety and depression. The behavior was not limited to those at the stadium as Yankees fans on Twitter were also encouraging others to use Greinke’s mental illness against him.
Say what you will about the Nationals being the supposed underdog in the World Series against the Astros/Yankees but they are the only postseason team remaining that has 4 bonafide starters. No bullpen games for them.
