Kansas City Royals pitcher Amir Garrett has apologized for throwing a drink at a fan during Tuesday nights game against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago.
A video shared by Instagram user Trevin Cholmondeley shows Garrett popping up from the dugout to toss the drink on a fan in the stands just above it.
Listen the disrespect is insane in these parks, Garrett said in a tweet after the game. I really wish I could go to someones work and run my mouth. These are grown men talking slick. How miserable do you have to be with your own life?
By Wednesday, hed had a change of heart, and issued an apology:
I owe the fan from last night’s incident an apology. I realize my actions were uncalled for and that as players we are held to a higher standard and the chirping from fans is a part of today’s game. I hope he can forgive me.
With that being said, I’m a human that makes mistakes. I will continue to grow and learn from any and all mistakes I make and appreciate everyone’s support while doing so.
Again, I sincerely apologize to last night’s fan and all fans who were around. This is a beautiful game that we share, as fans and as players. Let’s continue to cherish our beautiful game together.
The Royals lost 92 on Tuesday, and lost to the White Sox again Wednesday 14.
