What else do you expect from Yankees fans?
On Saturday night, the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers met in Game 2 of the World Series, and the Boys in Blue won again, taking a 2-0 lead in the Fall Classic. Los Angeles is 4-2 victory. That being said, it’s the off-field scenes that have people tearing it up on social media, and it also involves an injury to a Dodgers superstar. Shohei Otani.

Following Holmes-Hernandez’s first pitch, Ohtani attempted to steal second base, but ended up getting thrown, ending the inning for Los Angeles. However, things got even worse for the Dodgers as Ohtani injured his shoulder while sliding.

Oh, and of course there were some middle fingers in the mix.
