Royals’ Amir Garrett Apologizes For Throwing Drink On Fan During Game

Royals pitcher Amir Garrett lost his cool during a game Tuesday night — throwing his drink on a fan who he says had been heckling him.

The shocking incident happened at some point during K.C.’s 9-2 loss to the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago … when Garrett had clearly heard enough from a fan who he claims chirped him on his way into the dugout.

Video shows as Garrett was heading down the steps to take a seat on his team’s bench — he stopped to engage in an argument with a man in a gray T-shirt.

Suddenly, Garrett reared back and tossed what appeared to be water on the fan — hitting a young kid with the liquid nearby as well.

Following the game, the 30-year-old reliever explained the interaction on his Twitter page … saying the fan had “disrespected” him.

“Listen the disrespect is insane in these parks,” Garrett said. “I really wish I could go to someone’s work and run my mouth. These are grown men talking slick. How miserable do you have to be with your own life?”

A person claiming to be the fan on Twitter said the altercation happened because he told Garrett that he “stunk” and that another player was better than him.
