The Toronto Blue Jays are changing the way they’ll sell beer after the fiasco that was Game 5 of their American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers.
After fans threw beer cans on the field when the Rangers pulled ahead on a bizarre throwing error by catcher Russell Martin in the seventh inning of that game, Rogers Centre won’t sell beer cans in the upper deck during the AL Championship Series against the Kansas City Royals.
#BlueJays adjust beer policy for ALCS: Beer at 500 (highest) level of Rogers Centre will be poured into plastic cups and not sold in cans.

Throwing beer cans never is a good idea, but things got particularly dicey when someone in the upper deck was arrested after nearly hitting a baby with a can. There’s no word on why the Blue Jays aren’t making cups a stadium-wide policy, but this way at least prevents fans in the lower seats from being injured.
