Yankees fans provoked the wrong player during the spring training exhibition against the Blue Jem on Sunday.
Toronto utility man Lourdes Gurrill Jr. met with “cheater” chants in Tampa, Fla. After being mistaken for his brother Yuli, Houston an infielder for the Astro.
Yuli was part of the 2017 Championship Astro team that defeated the Yankees in the ALCS – and later illegally stolen signs were found.
Yankee fans have waited more than a year to upset those involved in the scandal exposed in the fall of 2019, as they were not allowed to play last season due to an epidemic.
Astro will tour Yankee Stadium for a three-match set starting May 4.
