A fan ran on the field during a Tampa Bay Rays Spring Training game and threw two cans (one of beer) into the Ray’s dugout. The fan, of Cuban descent, in his 60s, and yelling in Spanish, appeared to be angry about the Rays’ recent trip to Cuba

"“It was a Cuba thing,” Rays RHP Jake Odorizzi said. “I don’t speak Spanish too well. … I think it was a Cuban person, frustrated about the politics of it, I guess. He threw two beer cans. Nobody got hit. Nobody did anything. Maybe some guys got wet. It was a Cuba thing.”"

The man was restrained by the Rays’ third-base coach until police arrived from the other side of the field. Bradenton police charged him with “trespassing, causing affray, and assault.”
