The New York Yankees' Todd Frazier isn't afraid to embrace the hate.
Wednesday, two nights after his three-run homer at Citi Field was greeted by a fan putting his thumbs down, Frazier adopted the gesture as his own.
With the Yankees the visiting team against the Tampa Bay Rays in a game relocated to Flushing Meadows by Hurricane Irma's impact on Florida, it's not known whether the displeased fan was a Mets' fan, a fan of the Rays, or just someone who doesn't like the Yankees.
Either way, Frazier and his teammates thought the gesture fit perfectly on a team known for its hand gestures to teammates in the dugout after getting a hit.
