“The fact that some suburban guy (came) to Yankee Stadium to pretend to be an ass completely ruins the artistry of Cole pitching a no-hitter in the fifth or Freeman having a four-game home run streak: both in the World Series.” It won’t mean anything to me because I only remember those obnoxious fans I needed to avoid,” he added, tagging the New York Yankees X account.
