Actor Wendell Pierce said he left Game 5 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium due to unruly fan behavior.

Pierce, whose acting credits include The Wire, Treme and Elsbeth, posted Wednesday on X that he "just left the Yankees game because I was talking to a Dodgers fan and people were throwing things at me." He called it "the worst experience ever."

Fans of the Dodgers and Yankees both generated some controversy this postseason.
