Yankees Fans Shout At Astros Fans 'Hurricane Harvey'
Did Yankees fans cross the line by shouting about the storm that devastated Houston? And will karma catch up with the team in Houston?

HOUSTON, TX — There's no love lost when it comes to the New York Yankees and the baseball teams from Texas, especially in the playoffs. And it's no secret that New York fans can be brutal to opposing teams at Yankee Stadium. But "Hurricane Harvey" chants directed towards Astros fans and players at Yankee Stadium may have crossed the line, even for Yankees fans.
The American League Championship Series started in Houston a week ago with the Astros winning the first two games at Minute Maid Park. The ALCS shifted to New York for three games beginning Monday, and the Yankees won all three games to take a 3-2 lead with Game 6 tonight back in Houston. But things got so bad at Yankee Stadium this week that Astros manager A.J. Inch threatened to take his team off the field.
Of course, social media giant Twitter lit up with pretty much everyone's disapproval of Hurricane Harvey chants and reportedly throwing objects onto the field at the Astros players.
