Amir Garrett and his team Kansas City Royals were in the middle of the eventual 9-2 loss against the Chicago White Sox, when a fan decided to cut Garrett down to size. That is how a shouting match started between the fan and Amir Garrett which resulted in him throwing his drink over the dugout, towards the White Sox fan.
The aggression can be understood on the part of Amir Garrett as he has been having a bad season himself, however, he did pitch a scoreless inning against the White Sox on Tuesday night. The video shows a man leaning ahead on the seats provided above the Kansas City dugout when an angry Amir Garrett emerges and throws water on the fan.
“Listen the disrespect is insane in these parks,” Garrett wrote in response to the video being re-posted by Jomboy Media. “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?”

Amir Garrett added, “With that being said, I’m a human that makes mistakes. I will continue to grow and learn from any and all mistakes I make and appreciate everyone’s support while doing so.”
