According to the Chicago Tribune'sMeghan Montemurro, the Washington Nationals banned two fans from the park for five years after they made inappropriate comments towards Willson Contreras.

Following his team's win over the Nationals on Tuesday, he mentioned an incident in which heckling by Nationals fans crossed the line.

Willson Contreras: “I’m not going to say it right now, but what he said, he got under my skin. Even though he was a Latino guy, and you’re speaking the same language, I know what he means. If somebody tried to mess up my family, they’re going to (have to go through) me first.”

The exchange took place in the 10th. After hitting a sacrifice fly, he talked to a fan on his way back to the bench. A fan was escorted from their seat by security.

Two weeks ago, the Kansas City Royals relief pitcher threw his drink at a fan behind the team's bench.

The disrespect is insane in these parks. I would love to go to someone's work and say something. Men are talking. What is it that makes you miserable with your own life?

The southpaw was suspended for three games and subsequently apologized.
