Late Monday night, one of the men ejected from Friday’s Blue Jays game admitted to the Star that he had in fact tossed a peanut into the Yankees’ bullpen.

“It was just a peanut,” said Josh Blair, 21, who was ejected from the game along with another fan, whom he didn’t know but had high-fived him on his way out. “(The peanut) didn’t even have the shell on it.”

Blair, who said he merely “lobbed” the peanut into the opposing bullpen, conceded it wasn’t his most mature moment, but added that the Jays were losing and he felt he needed to do something to pick them up.

“It’s the Yankees. We have to do whatever we can do to get ahead.”
