A great day for baseball didn’t stop some friendly fire in the South Bronx on Thursday.
The New York Yankees were wrapping up their four-game set against Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels on a Thursday matinee when, during Los Angeles’ 11-4 victory, fans in the stands had extracurricular activities.
In a 20-second clip posted online, it appears that at least five people were involved in the chaos.

A person wearing a Gerrit Cole jersey threw a nasty right hook after grabbing someone from behind. Someone else wearing an Aaron Judge jersey also appeared to throw a jab.
Cooler heads took over fairly quickly, but the damage was already done.
Perhaps the fans were simply reenacting what had happened on the field: a beating.

MIKE TROUT’S TORRID ANGELS SERIES AGAINST THE YANKEES ENDS HISTORICALLY AFTER HE BLASTS HIS FIFTH HOME RUN
The Yankees’ loss extended their winless streak to three, as they have now lost eight of their last 11 games.
Trout and Judge fought blow for blow, but not in the same way as the fans. The two three-time AL MVPs combined for nine home runs, with Trout going back in time to hit five. He became the only player in baseball history to homer in four consecutive games at Yankee Stadium as a visitor.
Temperatures reached nearly 90 degrees in New York City on Thursday, so perhaps patience was running out on E. 161st Street.
