TORONTO — Since Tuesday night, Ken Pagan has been the most wanted man in T.O.

Toronto Police issued a photo Wednesday afternoon of the man they identified as the alleged beer-can tosser at Tuesday’s Blue Jays playoff game.

The photo is of Pagan, who was at the game in the section where the can was tossed and in videos of the incident on social media sites appears to toss something onto the field.

He spoke with Toronto Police Wednesday night and made arrangements to turn himself in. Pagan has not yet been charged.

He is also an employee of Postmedia — and formerly Sun Media — an award-winning journalist and passionate baseball player and fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of the game.

On Wednesday night, Pagan said he’d been advised by his lawyer, Frank Genesee, not to speak about the incident but did suggest the police may have it wrong.

“I was drinking out of a cup,” Pagan told Postmedia, and suggested Twitter photos that show him after the can was tossed clearly indicate he had a cup in his hand. “I’d love to tell you what happened and my story ... but I can’t say anything.”

Genesee said his client is a “good guy” but “needs the benefit of legal advice” before he comment further.

Pagan, who was off work Tuesday night, has "been identified as possibly the person who did this,” Genesee said. “All I can say now is he’s going to co-operate fully with the investigation.”

The beer can tossing controversy, as it has become known, occurred in the 7th inning of wild-card playoff game between the Jays and Baltimore Orioles.

After Jays DH Melvin Upton Jr. hit deep to the outfield, Hyun Soo Kim caught the ball when a beer can flew out of the stands from the 100 Level outfield seats and narrowly missed him.

The incident was an act of utter disrespect and put a black mark on what was an incredible game, and elicited headlines and outrage not only across this city, but across North America.

The Toronto Sun issued a $1,000 reward to anyone who could identify the “loon ball,” as he was characterized by Mayor John Tory.

Pagan said he was badly rattled by the “firestorm” and “finger-pointing” that raged following the game.

“I have no idea what is happening,” he said, but in passing, added it would be nice if the $1,000 Sun reward went to the Jays Care Foundation charity.

“I would like to see that happen,” he said.

Those who know Pagan were “shocked” by the allegations. He’s known as an “easy-going” and responsible editor by those who work with him, and as an athlete who loves baseball and “respects the rules of the game.”

The incident itself drew immediate condemnation from the Toronto Blue Jays.

“The Toronto Blue Jays would like to express our extreme disappointment for the incident that occurred during last night’s American League wild-card game at Rogers Centre, involving an object being thrown onto the field of play,” said a release.

“Throughout this season, we have witnessed an incredible level of fan engagement, with a passionate and loyal fan base that extends across Canada. On the heels of one of the most competitive and exhilarating baseball games in our club’s history, it is extremely unfortunate that the irresponsible actions of one individual would detract from the game on the field, and tarnish an otherwise memorable night.”

They also said how sorry they are as an organization.

“We would like to offer our sincere apologies and regrets to the entire Baltimore Orioles organization, its manager and players, as well as Major League Baseball for this embarrassing incident,” said the Blue Jays statement. “The safety of our fans, staff, players and visiting teams is paramount. We’re cooperating with the authorities to identify the individual involved, and the individual responsible is not welcome back to the stadium.”

Going forward there will be changes as well.

“We will also enact heightened security measures and alcohol policies that will ensure the fan experience and safety of everybody involved,” said the release. “We hope the focus will remain on the exciting play on the field, and that our fans will express their passionate support for the Blue Jays while demonstrating a level of respect and responsibility that has made Rogers Centre one of the best atmospheres for families and fans of baseball.”

The Jays later said they’ll ban bottles and cans from coming playoff games.

Mayor Tory earlier called on police to track down the beer can tosser.

”I wholeheartedly support every single effort our police service and the Toronto Blue Jays undertake to track down this irresponsible person and use the full weight of their authority to demonstrate how totally unacceptable we find these actions.”

And the weight of this story was not just local.

Major League Baseball also said it “wants officials in Canada to prosecute the fan who threw a beer at Baltimore outfielder Hyun Soo Kim during the seventh inning of the AL wild-card game.”

“We are working very hard to locate the individual involved,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred told Associated Press.

He added from a “deterrent perspective,” it’s important to make sure that the beer tosser is prosecuted.

“It’s all anyone can talk about here in the U.S.; I can’t tell you how much damage that did to the Toronto brand, again,” said Dave Thom, a Torontonian who now lives in New York.

Meanwhile, the manhunt — for now — appears over.
