You would think that with the Blue Jays on an eight-game winning streak, having swept two straight series at home and sitting in first place in the AL East that fans would be in a pretty good mood.
That wasn't the case during Saturday's game against
the Los Angeles Angels as a wild brawl appearing to involve at least five men broke out in the 500 level of Rogers Centre.
According to a post on X by
6ixBuzzTV, the fracas allegedly kicked off after a fan spilled his drink on another fan sitting in the row in front of him - but it is not seen in the clip.
The men in the front row can be heard calling one of the other two men a «f****** idiot» and asking «what are you going to do now?»
That's when one man in the front row wearing a Blue Jays hat and dark shirt begins throwing punches at one of the men in the row above them.
Another fan wearing a dark grey shirt then throws a punch at the face of the same man - who has the front of his shirt ripped wide open - while using his own seat for leverage.
A second fan from the higher row wearing a green shirt and glasses gets involved, trying to defuse the situation by getting in front of his friend. It doesn't end well for him as he receives a haymaker from a third man in the row below.
After about 30 seconds the two men from the second row do their best to get out of dodge, leaving towards the stairs to their right.
In longer video of the action shown from a different angle, security is seen coming to talk to the men and asking them to leave the area.
Aside from the extracurricular action up in the nosebleeds, things have been going very well for the Blue Jays recently.
The fan fight at the game serves as a stark reminder of the volatile atmosphere that can surround sports, even among supporters of the same team. However, the Blue Jays' current success may offer a constructive focus for fans moving forward.
