The Oakland A’s are going above and beyond for one of their fans. John Spencer is getting some new A’s gear after a video went viral this week of Yankees fans basically throwing beer on him.
Yankee fans are the absolute worst. They’ll talk about the 27 rings all day, but then they’ll do shit like this for winning the Second Place Series. pic.twitter.com/vJaFi1RB5y

Let me just say, I get being excited when your team wins. But don’t be an a-hole. Be respectful of other teams and their fans because your team will lose at some point. So, after seeing the video, the Oakland A’s tweeted out this gem:
Do you know this A’s fan? We’d like to find him, hook him up with some new Oakland A’s gear that doesn’t smell like beer.
Much love from Hero-Town, buddy.

Not too long later, they found their guy.
UPDATE: We found him! Now dry, the Oakland native and current NY resident is John Spencer. We’ll be sending John a care package and we’ll host him at a game next season. Thanks for representing the A’s in New York, John! #RootedInOakland #HeroTown pic.twitter.com/jBnlzqXOGX

While the A’s might not have won their series, they won over the hearts of America. Or at least the heart of John Spencer.
