Yankees star hits out at Royals fans who laughed at him for calling the team happy: ‘I’ve never seen anyone call a bum’

Jazz Chisholm Jr. was public enemy No. 1 in Kansas City on Wednesday.

The New York Yankees star infielder gave the Royals some message board material earlier this week when he called them “lucky” for winning Game 2 of the ALDS.

Ultimately, there wasn’t enough motivation for the Royals, as they lost Game 3 on Wednesday, but the fans made their voices heard beforehand.

When Chisholm was introduced pregame, the boos were extremely loud, and Chisholm didn’t mind at all.

In fact, he said, “I love it. I love it.’

Chisholm was asked about the boos after the Yanks’ 3-2 win, and he clearly wasn’t phased.

“I’ve never seen anyone call a bum a name,” the former All-Star said.

“That’s good for the playoffs, to have a little bit of that,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Made for a slightly better environment.”

Chisholm felt confident the Royals “got lucky” after the Yankees suffered some setbacks in Game 2, but he did go 0-for-4 in the Yanks’ 3-2 victory on Wednesday.

The Yankees were carried Wednesday by Giancarlo Stanton, who drove in two runs, including the game-winner. The slugger hit a towering solo home run in the eighth inning to give the Yankees the lead for good, and Luke Weaver recorded the five-out save.
