Two fans are banned from Nationals Park for five years after a heated exchange with Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras.
WASHINGTON —
The incident occurred in the top of the 10th inning Tuesday during the Cubs’ 7-5, 11-inning win against the Washington Nationals. After Contreras’ sacrifice fly gave the Cubs a lead, he made his way from behind home plate to the Cubs dugout on the third-base side.That’s when an animated Contreras verbally engaged with a fan in the stands. At least one person wearing a white Nationals jersey was seen being escorted out by ballpark security after Contreras returned to the dugout.
Players understand and expect trash talk from opposing fans during games, something Contreras certainly has heard over the years without issue. He made clear, however, the comments that led to the ballpark ban were personal and clearly crossed the line. “What he said got under my skin,” Contreras said."We’re speaking the same language. I know what he means.”
