The nine-second video was viewed more than one million times on Twitter, and Cincinnati Reds left fielder Jake Fraley is glad it caught attention.
Fraley, in his fourth season in the big leagues, says he expects heckling at all road parks, especially in Philadelphia. He heard it all game to that point and he had no problem with it. What changed is he heard a fan mention his kids and, to him, that crossed a line. His reaction was caught on the nine-second viral video. . “I don’t really care. I’ve heard it all, all the way from college up to the big leagues now. But as soon as you start talking about my kids, you’ve crossed a line.
“I know it’s going viral and I hope it does. I hope fans can understand that us as professional athletes, we’re people. We’re playing a game that is extremely hard. And if you cross a line talking about somebody’s family, especially somebody’s kids, just because you were sitting in the stands doesn’t mean you can do that. I felt like I needed to say something and that was the decision I made. I stand by it.
