Cleveland Indians All-Star closer Chris Perez cursed out an Oakland A's fan after being heckled during pregame warmups before Sunday's MLB game at O.co Coliseum.
Perez came over to the right field stands as the heckling fan came down to the front row to say "Here I am." The fan appeared to tell off two Indians players while Perez took the bait and threw a few choice words his way.
Note that the video only tells one side of the story, as it conveniently leaves out the heckling of Perez by the fan that presumably led up to the confrontation. However, when you're a major league baseball player like Perez, you are held to higher standards, and Perez would have been much better off ignoring the fan than sinking down to his level. Nobody wins in this situation, but Perez has much more to lose, as he will probably find out as this video makes the rounds.
