Why do fans of the game behave in this manner? Unreal.

New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler said he and his family have received death threats ahead of his start against the Boston Red Sox, but he's "excited" to be making his Fenway Park debut Thursday.

Schlittler, who grew up as a Red Sox fan in Walpole, which is about 40 miles from Fenway Park, told the New York Post that he hasn't felt the need to get police involved, and he told The Athletic that Red Sox fans troll him "every week ... every day."

"Most normal fans could care less, right?" Schlittler told the New York Post. "It's just those diehards that just have nothing else in their lives other than baseball or sports that really care about this, and the fact that I play for the Yankees makes it worse for them."

That’s taking a little bit too far to be sending the guy death threats. I could see heckling, but that crosses a line.

They can catch those people very easily
