Colorado Rockies rookie outfielder Cole Carrigg drew criticism after making an obscene gesture toward spectators during a game against the Atlanta Braves.
Carrigg, who started in center field, raised his right middle finger toward the stands on May 30, Korean time, at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia. The Rockies led 1-0 in the eighth inning when the incident occurred.
The report described the action as inappropriate rather than simply the exuberance of a first-year player. Rockies manager Bud Black issued Carrigg a stern warning, saying, "We can't tolerate that kind of behavior."
