Myles Straw came to Cleveland from the Houston Astros midway through last season. Since then, he has become a fixture in the Guardians outfield. Straw recorded two home runs and 14 RBIs in 60 appearances for the Cleveland Guardians last year.

On Saturday, his outfield counterpart threw himself headlong into the outfield wall in an attempt to catch a flyball. Upon hearing one fan berading Steven Kwan's efforts, Straw decided to take matters into his own hands.

Myles Straw scaled the outfield fence to tell the fan off. The video that emerged shows Straw repeatedly yelling, "Hit me. Hit me moth***." New York Yankees fans mocked Straw afterwards on social media, referring to the Guardians outfielder as a crybaby.

After the game, Myles Straw backed up his comments, saying he regrets nothing. He went on to describe New York Yankees fans as the "worst fanbase on the planet."

The Guardians ended up losing the game 5-4, resulting in a 3-0 series sweep for Yankees.

The Cleveland Guardians have a record of 7-9 as of this writing. Despite the losing record, they are still only a game behind the division leader Minnesota Twins.

It is unclear if Straw, or the fan for that matter, will face any disciplinary action. Regardless, it was a hilarious moment of choice language and heated antics, something baseball could arguably use a little more of.
