A very un-Canadian gesture has prompted the most Canadian response of all.

The beer can-throwing incident at the recent Toronto Blue Jays-Baltimore Oriole baseball game, which saw a charge laid in the case Thursday night, has drawn an apologetic response from a London company,

Start.ca is donating $2,500 to community charity programs supported by the Orioles organization.

“I think we have always been a fair-play type of organization and as ball fans and Canadians, it just did not seem right,” said Peter Rocca, chief executive of the York Street cable provider.

“We just wanted to do a small thing to express that we think it is not cool and Canadians don’t think it is cool.”

The Facebook post announcing the donation had drawn 600,000 views, 5,000 shares and more than 200 comments, as of Thursday at noon.

“Been with you guys for over two years and had nothing but good things to say but this is just plain awesome. Well done,” said Jason Sinclair in a response on Facebook.

Added Jari Villanueva: “Thank you for the goodwill gesture. Let’s hope it (can-throwing) never happens again. Anywhere.”

The incident occurred in the bottom of the seventh inning during Tuesday’s wild-card game at the Rogers Centre, as Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim was tracking a fly ball. As he made the catch, a beer can flew out of the left-field stands onto the field, narrowly missing Kim.

“It was an outrage and we don’t stand for that behaviour,” said Rocca.

“We are just trying to create a positive out of a negative situation.”

Meanwhile, Toronto police say they have charged a Hamilton man with mischief in the beer-tossing incident.

Ken Pagan, 41, arrived at Toronto police’s 52 Division just after 7 p.m. Thursday, one day after investigators released his picture to the media.

Pagan’s lawyer, Tyler Smith, said his client was charged with one count of mischief on entering the station.

Pagan said nothing to the media during his walk to the station’s front doors.

On Wednesday night, Pagan told the Toronto Sun he had made arrangements to turn himself in. He said he “was drinking out of a cup” at the game.

Pagan is a Postmedia editorial employee who works in Hamilton.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 24 at 11 a.m., at Toronto’s Old City Hall.

Earlier Thursday, police said they were confident they’d identified the correct person as the fan who tossed the beer can, as rampant speculation raged on social media over whether they had the right person in the crowd.

“We are confident we have made

a positive ID,” said Const. Jenifferjit Sidhu.

“We will continue to work with Rogers Centre for further investigation.”
