In the late innings of the Reds' 10-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels, David Bell, said something to a fan as he walked off the field.
Bell was checking on Will Benson, who fouled a ball off his foot. Bell came out to check on him.
The Reds manager had an incident in San Diego on June 19 last season when he and Joey Votto were ejected by home plate umpire Ryan Addition for arguing a ball/strike call. A Padres fan sitting in box seats near the Reds' dugout was also ejected from the ballpark.
This time Bell pointed out the fan to a security guard who was stationed in the Reds dugout. A radio call across the diamond to a guard near the Angels dugout, confronted the fan and called for backup. Two police officers arrived and escorted the man from his seats. The fan sitting next to the offending fan remained seated after talking to the guards.
"There was some profanity. We made sure we got him out of the ballpark," Bell said. "Mainly because there are families and kids around the area. I don't want their day ruined by one fan. Benson was alright. It just took a little while for it to calm down and we got the fan out of there too. I think the other guy was embarrassed."
