Everything is bigger in Texas, they say, and that apparently includes ballpark beatings.
Two New York Yankees fans were on the receiving end during an altercation with some Texas Rangers fans during Monday night’s game at Globe Life Field.
The incident, which took place in the right-field stands at the ballpark in Arlington, Texas, appears to have started with some taunting by a male Yankees fan, who was accompanied by a woman appearing to be his girlfriend.
In one of several videos posted online of the incident, the man — who was wearing a white Aaron Judge jersey — appears to be taunting one of the Rangers faithful sitting a row behind him.
The Yankees fan appears to repeatedly say “brush your teeth,” while making a motion with his hand around his mouth.
A large man wearing blue Texas gear doesn’t take too kindly to this and stands up to confront the man, who then appears to knock something out of the Rangers fan’s hand.
That’s when the altercation erupts, with the Rangers fan slugging the rival fan with a hard right, sending him down a row. That’s when a Rangers fan in red, who the Yankees fan originally had been taunting, jumps down and hits the staggered man several times with an inflatable plastic air tube.
The two trade a few punches before the Yankees fan is again put down on his backside and things are broken up.
What happened to the female Yankees fan?
The calm didn’t last for too long, however. As the fans were being escorted out of the section, the female Yankees fan appeared to continue to keep up the trash talk.
She then took a swing at the fan dressed in blue, who pushed her back and sent her tumbling down the concrete stairs, ultimately landing in some seats several rows down.
What happened to everyone after the brawl?
The Yankees fans later were seen being escorted by security with the male being left bloodied from the fight.
It was unclear what happened to the Rangers fans after the chaotic brawl.
Neither team has commented on the incident, which has gone viral on social media. One video posted on X has racked up more than 1.8 million views since being posted early Tuesday morning.
