Blue Jays were great; fans, not so much

Re Police to probe trash tossing, Oct. 15 Game 5 of the Jays-Rangers series, and especially the seventh inning, will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most exciting baseball games that any baseball fan will ever dream of watching. It had everything you could wish for from fierce competition and wild plays to plenty of bizarre and heartthumping moments. Virtually no Hollywood script could equate to the way events unfolded.

Aside from the disturbing behaviour of some fans who tossed beer cans on to the field, the game was a huge success for the sport, the city and the fans. Robert Ariano, Scarborough

When the Toronto police probe the tossing of beer cans at the Blue Jays game, the first thing they should look at is why there are beer cans and bottles in the Rogers Centre in the first place.

Those fans who threw cans and bottles toward the field embarrass the city, but they shouldn’t have had those cans and bottles. Michael Cole, Toronto

The lady whose baby was hit should get a lawyer and sue the Rogers Centre owners for lack of proper security. W. Arsenault, Napanee, Ont.

The Blue Jays took a 6-3 victory to move to the ALCS against the Royals and as a Texas Rangers fan I offer my congratulations and wish them the best of luck moving forward. The team played a great series and, with the exception of Jose Bautista’s arrogant little bat flip, played with professionalism and dignity. I cannot say the same for the fans.

I hope the fans in Toronto are proud of the little hissy fit they threw just because they did not like a call. I hope that all those people who threw things on the field went home and proudly told their kids how they are immature, unsportsmanlike, classless idiots. Anthony Townsend, St. Paul, Texas

Some days I wonder if there really is a God, but after seeing the Texas Rangers make three consecutive errors after the botched call at home plate, I’ll be attending church this Sunday. Tom Scanlan, Toronto
