A Seattle Mariners fan named Sofie was impressed with how Jesse Winker stood up for his team during the second inning of Sunday's Angels-Mariners game. As soon as Seattle Mariner Jesse Winker was hit by a pitch from Andrew Wantz, he lost his calm, and chaos ensued. The Angels and Mariners engaged in a lengthy altercation that lasted 18 minutes.

Sofie, the supportive fan, felt the Seattle Mariners outfielder was justified in his actions and deserved a treat for his bold step. She sent a Mountain Mike's pepperoni pizza as a gift to Jesse via DoorDash.
