CLEVELAND — A fan wearing a Miami Heat jersey of LeBron James drew the ire of the crowd at a Cleveland Indians game and was escorted out of the ballpark.

Fans in the left-field bleachers chanted obscenities and pointed at the man Wednesday night during the sixth inning of the game between the Indians and New York Yankees. Hundreds of fans joined in before security led the man out of Progressive Field.

As he left, some fans followed him toward the gate with more derisive chants.

James' recent departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Heat caused a lot of anger in the city.

Many fans were near the left-field foul pole in hopes of catching the 600th home run ball by Alex Rodriguez.

The guy's lucky they didn't string him up from the foul pole.

To be wearing a LeBron Miami Heat jersey in Cleveland right, especially in a ballpark where many have had several beers, and their team is losing.  If all they did was shout obscenities and jeer him, he's lucky....

His girlfriend got feisty with one guy. Evidently, she took umbrage at being intentionally hit in the eye with a peanut.
