A fan carrying an American flag briefly disrupted play during a crucial Game 6 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays when he ran onto the field before being tackled by ballpark security.
The incident took place during the sixth inning as Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto warmed up. Video on social media showed the man in a blue shirt running across center field carrying the flag. At one point, a security officer can be seen ripping the flag from the man’s hands before he was quickly taken to the ground.
Uniformed officers then ran onto the field to apprehend the disruptor. During the incident, the Canadian crowd at Rogers Centre could be heard booing the man—a reminder of the tense sports rivalry between the two border nations.
Despite the interruption, Yamamoto, a winner of three MVP awards in Japan, remained unfazed. “That’s a rare case,” he said after the game through an interpreter. “I just didn’t like it. But I was allowed to pitch a couple of pitches, and so I maintained my composure.”
The Dodgers ultimately staved off elimination and set up a winner-take-all World Series Game 7.
