George Springer has been in the limelight for sending the Toronto Blue Jays to the World Series. The slugger has had an incredible season with the Blue Jays, and he’s ready to face the Los Angeles Dodgers. Springer helped the franchise break their 32-year-long drought. He’s been a solid contributor at the plate, and Toronto has grown fond of him.
During the ALCS, Springer had an unforgettable moment against the Seattle Mariners. The slugger was hit with a 96 mph fastball by Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo. While George Springer dropped to the ground in excruciating pain, the Mariners’ fans booed the slugger.
Blue Jays players, fans, and the management were unhappy with the booing. Manager John Schneider called out the Mariners fans for their miserable behavior. Furthermore, George Springer’s father lashed out at fans after the team punched their ticket to the World Series.
Springer’s father slammed Mariners fans, saying they had “the most despicable behavior.” While some fans agreed with his father, many reminded him about his son’s involvement in the 2017 sign-stealing scandal with the Houston Astros.
MLB Fans Slam George Springer’s Father For Backing His Son
Fans held nothing back as they dropped several reactions calling out George Springer and his father for backing him. Here are some responses from X.
“And… what does he think about his son’s behavior when he cheated with the Astros? I mean, legit question, right?” one fan asked.
“Did his father also release a statement after his son admitted to participating in the 2017 World Series cheating scandal?” another fan asked.
“How did his dad feel about his cheating?” one fan wrote.
“Maybe dad should have taught his son to have more dignity or teach him about consequences of being a cheater,” one fan chipped in.
“I was there. People were booing because he’s a cheater – not because he was injured. Just like they boo every member of the 2017 team. They were just louder. Geeze,” one fan said.
“Who wants to tell George Springer’s dad why his son’s getting booed?” one fan said.
It’s been a wild ride for George Springer, and fans have not forgotten his 2017 stint with the Houston Astros. Springer hopes to turn things around and win his second World Series title.
