5. Kim vs. Hurled Beer Can
Apparently very passionate Toronto Blue Jays fan Ken Pagan threw a full beer can at Baltimore Orioles left fielder Hyun Soo Kim during his seventh inning ending catch during a tight 2-2 tie in the 2016 AL Wild Card game. Center fielder Adam Jones sprinted over to his teammate’s defense and began pointing and shouting to the crowd, visibly fired up all the way back to the dugout.Orioles’ manager Buck Showalter walked to the scene of the crime with umpires, hoping to get the fan ejected, but Blue Jays spokesperson Erik Grosman said after the game that the fan had already escaped before police made it to his section.

Toronto police asked the fan via Twitter to turn himself in because, “We have photos.” Pagan eventually did so and has been charged with mischief by Toronto police. According to TheStar.com, Pagan was a sports copy editor for Postmedia Network Inc., a largely journalistic operation.
