The Pittsburgh Pirates faced the Los Angeles Angels last night in a 3-0 win as they shutout the Angels but the big story came in the 5th inning when Tommy Pham made quite the interesting gesture towards a fan.
Most of the time players are very respectful towards fan since they would have no job if it was not for their support but a few times a season there is always a few moments when the two get into it causing quite the season.
Tommy Pham makes obscene gesture towards fan during game against the Angels
During the game, the Pirates were leading 2-0 in the fifth inning when a ball was hit toward Pham up against the wall where he picked it up and threw it to the cutoff man but before he could throw it an Angels fan was touching his glove in the process.
Pham ran over, grabbed the ball and threw to the cut-off man, but an Angels fan touched Pham with their glove in the process.
He didn't care for him doing that and asked security to remove the fan from that part of the park, making a crude hand-jerking gesture in the process. -Campbell

Clearly from the gesture made towards the fan, Pham was not pleased with the fan trying to interfere with the play and made it clear to everyone in the stadium.
Angel fans were not pleased either as they spent the rest of the game booing Pham.
The Angels fans booed Pham the rest of the game when he went up to bat. He would cap-off the Pirates 3-0 win, with an RBI single off a broken bat in the top of the ninth inning. -Franco
