NEW YORK — Cleveland Guardians outfielder Oscar Mercado had plenty to say following the disappointing loss to the New York Yankees Saturday, not so much about the game itself but about the actions of the Yankees fans following their comeback win.
"Kwan was a little shaken up and had some cuts in his face and there was a specific Yankee fan in left field that was celebrating Kwan getting hurt," Mercado said."It's almost like it's just acts of violence. You can't say stuff like that, especially when someone gets hurt.""Kwan is the nicest guy on the planet. That's my teammate, that's my brother and some of the things said to him, for me just wasn't going to fly," Straw said.
But wasn't just the words fans said about Kwan that Mercado and others had an issue with—it was the actions that followed Torres' walk-off hit."To just throw stuff at me and take it like it's nothing. They need to be held accountable, and I think there should be rules set up for that because in all honesty, that's ridiculous and that should not happen," Mercado said."Say whatever you want to say do whatever you want to do.
