Don’t hang around because two’s a crowd …
For the record, the guy in the Yankees jersey there is Jared Macchirole, a 20-year-old college student from the Middle Village section of Queens. He’s the one who ended up with the ball hit in the second inning by Robinson Cano, which was ruled a home run by right-field umpire Jim Reynolds … despite Texas’ Nelson Cruz saying that he was interfered with. From the New York Daily News:
Cruz’s glove appeared to hit the hands of Macchirole, and the ball hit the top of wall before landing in the seats for a home run. Macchirole, who was interviewed by the Daily News moments after the play, said he did nothing wrong.
“I saw it hit cement, it definitely hit cement,” said Macchirole, who was wearing a Derek Jeter Yankees jersey and a Yankee cap backward. “I didn’t touch his glove.”
Here’s another look. Sorry, but it looks like interference to me.
Of course Mr. Class went on to taunt Cruz after the play, and his celebration continued until the fifth, when New York’s Brett Gardner had to fight a Yankees fan for a foul ball and lost. Because catching a foul ball is SO much more important than your team actually winning the game. Schmuck.
Anyway, none of this ended up making much of a difference. Rangers up 3-1. Say goodnight, Yankees.

Yankees fans truly are an insufferable bunch. I mean no offense to the respectful folks and those who have been rooting for the team prior to their mid 90′s successes, but the younger ones like this are quite arrogant. It looked like there was some interference reaching over the wall and I did not care for his gesticulating towards Cruz. I saw a .gif that someone made of the play, and you can clearly see the heavy set man behind him going, “F*** you Cruz, f*** you!”. Nice.

Jared Macchirole is a pure Douche bag along with his pure cliche’ beastie boy wanna be hat on sideways look and his fat loser buddy who purposely grabbed the glove should be beat and left for dead by all New Yorkers for making the rest of you look like pure fagots.

That entire Macchirole family are nothing but a bunch of NO-CLASS WHITE, MAFIA TRASH. The kids are scumbags and liars as is their mobster father, Anthony Macchirole, involved with and related to many of the Bonanno, Genovese and Columbo crime family members. Their grandfather was Genovese Capo then Underboss, Pasquale “Patty Mac” Macchirole who was shot about 12 times and stuffed in his trunk. Their uncle, John, who “JAY” is actually named after (figures) was also a crazy mother****er just like his dad. He also was shot in the head (like dad) and stuffed into a trunk of his car. These scumbag boys’ father is also a scumbag living in Middle Village. Nobody in their family works and the kids drive fancy cars. The grinning piece-of-s*h*i*t IS A STUDENT AT PENN STATE UNIVERSITY! HEY A*S*S*H*O*L*E! WHERE’D DADDY GET THE MONEY TO SEND YOU TO PENN STATE? You couldn’t PAY me enough to live in that neighborhood!
