Toronto police identify beer-throwing fan from Wild Card Game as local writer

WATCH & READ

During Tuesday's AL wild-card game in Toronto, some jackwagon Blue Jays fan threw a beer can in the general direction of Orioles' left fielder Hyun soo Kim on a routine fly ball.

It was utterly disgraceful and the fan deserves to be legally punished. There's a social contract when entering sports events to not interfere like that anyway, but there are also rules in place and, if broken, those call for arrest. Throwing objects on the field qualifies and this appears to have been an intentional attempt to cause Kim to miss the fly ball (we can't say the thrower wanted to hit Kim, but we can't say he didn't).
