Daniel and Eric Reyes were watching the Jays-Red Sox game Tuesday night with a beer in their hands when they said they got a tap on the shoulder.

“(Jays security officials) said they would (eject them from the park) if we had one more beer, and we only had one beer,” said Daniel Reyes, who was confronted by security guards at section 111 on the first level, down the right-field line. “I don’t know why we got singled out. I mean, we had only one beer, that’s it.”

Reyes, 27, and his cousin Eric, 30, from Woodbridge, said they did nothing wrong. But Jays security is on alert after recent unruly, alcohol-fuelled behaviour.

The Jays realize they’re getting a bad reputation around the majors after the recent incidents, including during the series against the Yankees when a man was ejected after tossing peanuts into the Yankee bullpen.

But one Jays season ticket holder, who says he has been to 11 games so far this season, says he has not witnessed any rude behaviour or excessive drinking.

“No, not at all,” said Matt, who didn’t want his last name used. “I come to about 40 games a season and I’m sitting right here (in the same section as the Reyes cousins). A couple of Fridays ago, the paper airplanes were coming down non-stop from the sixth inning on. But I haven’t seen any incidents of fans being kicked out. You have to keep it respectable … you’re at a game and you’re allowed to drink beer, but like I said, I haven’t seen anyone getting kicked out.”

The Jays logged roughly 20 fan ejections at their home opener. The bigger numbers come on Friday nights, but settle down on Saturdays and Sundays when more families come to the Rogers Centre.

On Tuesday, Boston reliever Joel Hanrahan said he has heard “both good and bad” from Jays fans during Boston’s visit to the Rogers Centre during opening week.

“Both,” he said. “Hey, I’m all for good heckling as long as you keep a player’s family out of it. It’s all part of the fun of visiting other parks, but keep it PG, that’s all you can ask. There’s a lot of kids in the park, and the thing I don’t like is when some 12-year-old kid is telling you to (expletive). You wonder where he learned that from, then you see some person beside him yelling the same thing. You wouldn’t want your kid out there listening to that.”

The Jays, when the team is on the road, have also seen unruly fans ejected for over-the-top heckling at Toronto players.

While the club says it is cracking down on drunkenness with police, security staff, security managers and alcohol compliance officers, ejections are common when emotions run highest — when the team is winning, or when expectations are high, like with the 2013 Jays. In the World Series years in 1992 and 1993, there were 100 ejections on some nights.
