Yankees gamers weren’t the one ones displaying some struggle through the Subway Collection finale on Sunday.
Anthony Volpe’s father, Michael, was recorded throughout a heated second with Mets followers at Citi Subject through the seventh inning stretch.
Earlier than the singing of “God Bless America” at Citi Subject, the daddy of the Yankees’ shortstop defended his son from a Mets fan who was apparently speaking smack.
In a video making the rounds on social media from the Yankees’ 6-4 win over the Mets, Michael was seen tossing expletives at a Mets fan whereas his spouse, Isabelle, tried to calm him.
“Let’s go,” Michael may be heard saying a number of occasions in a viral TikTok video. “Bad mouthing my son. F–k you. F–k you. F–k you. Bad mouthing my son you scum bag. You f–king scumbag.”
A fan can then be heard saying — maybe sarcastically — “your son’s the best” earlier than everybody lastly eliminated their hats to take part within the tune honoring America.
It’s unclear what the Mets fan in the midst of the dispute was saying to Michael, and his face will not be within the image, however he was standing up and pointing in Michael’s path.
Volpe went 1-for-11 within the collection because the Yankees dropped two of three to proceed their early summer time swoon.
The scuffling 24-year-old’s lone hit was a house run within the Mets’ 12-6 win on Saturday.
Volpe has had an uneven season for the Yankees in his third season, posting a .219 common to go together with 10 house runs, 48 RBIs, 10 steals (caught seven occasions) and a .695 OPS.
He has produced a WAR better than three in every of his first two seasons within the huge leagues and is on tempo to take action once more in 2025, and can also be on tempo to play 160 video games this yr.
Volpe is third within the MLB amongst shortstops in errors (11).
