Myles Straw’s NSFW reaction to Yankees fans clearly instigated chaos

On top of being among the first people to realize fans get drunk at sporting events and say insulting things, Myles Straw is yet another example of those who forget phones, cameras and social media exist in the year 2022. A shame all around, especially for those who were hoping to pin every bit of the blame on New York Yankees fans after the chaos that ensued Saturday after the team’s walk-off win over the Cleveland Guardians.

Yes, the fans are still to blame. Relentlessly taunting the opponent and then hurling garbage at them is no way for grown adults to act in any setting. And it’s sad because so many other fans attend these games just looking to have a good time and now have to deal with this type of fallout where they’re also viewed as entitled, classless lunatics.

However, perhaps we can scale back on some of the criticism directed at those in the left and right field seats Saturday, because new footage surfaced of Straw scaling the outfield wall to, in fact, talk smack back to the fans in the front row.

After the game, Straw continued his smear campaign, calling Yankees fans “the worst in all of sports,” but little did he know he’d be outed for being … one of the worst athletes in all of sports?

Straw talked at length about how the fans were exhibiting unacceptable behavior toward Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan, who was injured on the play before after crashing into the wall as the Yankees tied the game on Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s rocket double.

At the same time, Straw made it seem like he made it a priority to reprimand the fans for such disgusting behavior. Instead? Turns out he tried to instigate a fist fight.

Myles Straw’s interaction with Yankees fans surfaces in new clip

You can hear the one fan yelling “Come on, Straw! F–k off!” and then Straw immediately climbs the fence and responds “Hit me, mother fu–er!”. Didn’t AT ALL seem like he was reacting to what was being said to Kwan, the most inflammatory of which was, “Stay down, Kwan!”.

A nice thing to say? Not at all. Shame on that man.

A reason to potentially recreate Malice in the Palace? Uh, not so much. As someone who was at the Yankees-Red Sox Sunday Night Baseball game in the left field seats and spent nine innings listening to fans hurl every single possible expletive at Alex Verdugo, Straw just comes off as weak and disingenuous here for the way in which he framed it in the postgame.

This is all just a lesson in cause and effect. Did Yankees fans have any justifiable reason to throw garbage at the Guardians’ outfielders? Not at all. But Straw gave the few drunk and rowdies exactly that with his antics, which clearly do not hold as much weight as previously thought.

Don’t believe us? OK. Next time you’re at a bar, go up to the group of drunk people who are crowding your area and clearly impeding on your fun time and yell, “Hit me mother f—er!!” and see what happens.
