Mics picked up a salty Yankees fan heckling Joey Gallo after a home run in Minnesota

Joey Gallo Yankees Minnesota New York

For better or for worse, Joey Gallo has been consistent throughout his MLB career. He’ll struggle to hit above .200, and he’ll strike out a ton. But he’s also one of the better power hitters in baseball.

Yet, Gallo’s game was a terrible fit for New York, and he knew it. He admitted last year that his struggles with the Yankees weighed on him. And though it’s early in the season, Gallo is enjoying a fresh start with the Minnesota Twins where he’s hitting for a decent average (by his standards) and has six home runs.

But that doesn’t mean that Yankees fans are over his struggles in the Bronx. They’re even heckling him in Minnesota.

During Monday’s game against the Yankees, Gallo led off the fourth inning with a deep home run to right-center field. As he was walking through the dugout, microphones picked up a Yankees fan shouting at Gallo.

“Hey Gallo, why couldn’t you do that in New York? You bum,” the heckling fan shouted.  Again, this was at Target Field. Yankees fans are relentless. I’m sure sports talk radio in New York sounded a lot like that after the Twins’ 6-1 win as well.

Fans also had thoughts on that hot-mic moment.

This was how Twitter reacted

Of course that happened in Minnesota. There’s no escaping an angry Yankees fan with a grudge.
