The Omaha Police Officers Association has suggested on social media that two Texas A&M fans ejected from the Aggies’ game against Florida Saturday night should not return to Omaha.
The two men, dressed in A&M garb, had been screaming into the Florida dugout in the 2nd inning about a former Gators bat boy, who died in 2021 with his father accused of killing his two sons before taking his own life and setting his home on fire.
The family of the 11-year old boy were friends of Florida head coach Kevin O’Sullivan, reportedly the target of the insults.
The Police Officers Association released a statement commending authorities for stepping in with a combination of Charles Schwab Field security and Omaha officers to throw out the duo.
The media post said “Heckling an opposing baseball team about the tragic death of their batboy is beyond unacceptable,“ then told the 2 men “You’re no longer welcome in this city and should be banned for life from future College World Series.”
Texas A&M baseball head coach Jim Schlossnagle also apologized on behalf of the school and denounced the actions of the two fans at the beginning of his postgame news conference
Schlossnagle said “Whoever those two guys are, they don’t represent what Texas A&M is all about. And whoever they are, don’t come back. Let’s not let those two guys back in the ballpark.”
