Man falls two rows forward after failing to land a punch during New York Yankees vs Cleveland Guardians game
A brawl broke out in the stands when a man fell down rows of seats twice during a baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday.
The third game of the American League Division Series pitted the Yankees against the Guardians at Progressive Field. Additionally, fights, whether they be among players or between fans of different clubs, have become an unwanted part of MLB.
For reasons unknown, a Guardians fan and a few Yankees fans got into a fight during the game. A Yankee supporter fell down two rows of seats as he punched the air. The man tumbled to nearly three more rows of seats as he attempted to stand up.

Later, an Aaron Judge fan attempted to throw his beer at a supporter of the opposing team, and it appeared to strike a man who was sporting a red flannel shirt and a cowboy hat. The fight's last act was stolen by a man who appeared out of nowhere and punched a Yankees fan in the face.
If the Yankees want to advance in the playoffs, they must win the final two games of the series.
While some Twitter users found the brawl entertaining, others believed the fight was unnecessary.
