**Yankees Fan Allegedly Throws Can at Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s Family During ALDS Game**
NEW YORK – Tensions flared at Yankee Stadium during Wednesday’s American League Division Series game, with a fan allegedly throwing a can at a group that reportedly included members of Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s family. The incident occurred as the Yankees faced elimination by the Blue Jays, who defeated their AL East rival to advance to ALCS.
Video footage circulating online shows a group of people, at least two of whom were wearing Guerrero Jr. jerseys, yelling toward fans behind them before a can is thrown into the shot. According to Hector Gomez, a longtime Latino baseball writer, Guerrero Jr.’s family was among those targeted, with some reports claiming plastic bottles were also thrown.
The incident marred what was already a frustrating night for Yankees fans, as their team lost to the Blue Jays despite Guerrero Jr.’s dominance in the series, where he batted .529. Guerrero Jr. has famously said he would never play for the Yankees, citing family reasons stemming from the team’s decision to sign Gary Sheffield over his Hall of Fame father in 2004.
The Toronto Blue Jays now await the winner of Game 5 between the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners to determine their ALCS opponent.
