Games being played in empty stadiums was an objective bummer of the 2020 MLB season, but there was at least one silver lining: there were no game stoppages for general fan tomfoolery.
The same cannot be said for Friday night's Rays-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium, where the home fans didn't take too kindly to Tampa Bay holding an 8-2 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning. As Clint Frazier batted against Trevor Richards, the game was halted when fans began throwing baseballs onto the field.

The Yankees would go on to lose, 8-2, dropping their third straight game and sixth in their last eight to bring their record to 5-8.
