Instead, the longtime fan said he was “escorted out of the stadium by two big security guards” just moments after the game began due to his choice of headwear.
For today’s game, Begley, who is 70, wore a Blue Jays hoodie and a red ballcap with the slogan, “Canada is not for sale.”
“We have spoken with the fan to apologize,” (Blue Jays) spokesperson Andrea Goldstein wrote in an email.
“Our staff made a mistake, and we have addressed the issue to ensure it does not happen again.”
I could see someone seeing that hat and assuming it’s a MAGA hat, and kicking the guy out – and the security guards “just doing their jobs”.
It still sucks, and i’m glad they said sorry
