One ticket holder at a recent Toronto Blue Jays game said he witnessed Yankees traveling security in action, said he was harassed by a Yankees employee, and has filed a complaint with the Blue Jays. Brendan Kennedy of the Toronto Star picked up the tale and talked to one of the Yankees Yankees shop security guards, Mark Kafalas, who confirmed he is paid by the team to complement local ballpark security: Kafalas said that during games, he and his partner go back and forth between the section of seats where the players' families sit and the seats closest to the bullpen.
"I don't eject anybody," he explained, saying he and his partner simply inform ballpark security of unruly behaviour. Kafalas admitted what the Yankees Yankees Jersey do is uncommon. "But we're the Yankees," he said. "Sometimes we draw attention." It seems common sense that fans aren't going to react well, period, to someone in a Yankees uniform telling them what to do in their home park. Actually, it's easy to argue that uniformed Yankees personnel might actually make things less safe.
