New York Yankees fans have been relentless when it comes to taunting and trash talking at the visiting Houston Astros over the cheating scandal that rocked baseball.
That’s included cursing at second baseman Jose Altuve, and on Thursday, Yankees fans didn’t even let up on his 31st birthday.
In fact, they creatively incorporated the occasion into their latest chant when he came up to bat on Thursday, shouting “[Expletive] your birthday!” along with a lot of booing. You’ve got to give some credit there!
Here are some videos, including from the YES broadcast that picked up on what was being said right away:

Well, apparently the non-family friendly portion of the booing towards Altuve extended to “F— your birthday…” But between all the booing, it’s hard to tell… https://t.co/i8uVapqaW4
