The story of the A’s fan who had a beer poured on him by a Yankees fan at Wednesday’s Wild Card Game has a happy ending.
The A’s fan is John Spencer, an Oakland native living in Brooklyn. He was in the rightfield bleachers during Wednesday’s game when a Yankees fan deliberately threw his beer on him. The video, posted to Instagram by the man who threw the beer, quickly went viral, with many people denouncing the fan’s actions.
The A’s put out a call on Twitter asking if anyone knew who the Oakland fan was and Spencer replied to identify himself.
