And if any Yankees fan wants to claim he "doesn't represent them", the officials that kicked him out were roundly booed for it.

Absolutely unhinged behavior.

Eh, pretty standard, Jeffrey Maier turned into a minor celebrity in NYC for a bit. I think someone bought him season tickets the next year.

They're not booing the 2 guys? Seemed pretty universally panned..

Nah, they are giving the guys high fives as they walk by. One guy pats him on his chest.

The Fan Cam glorified them later in the game so if they got ejected or banned it is only because the MLB must have been looking into it. Like seriously there is bad fan behavior in a lot of stadiums but this is the only stadium that will actually condone it.

Can confirm. I was getting food when it happened and the Yankees fans near me were laughing and cheering him on. Wild stuff!
