Yankees security threatened to jail Jays players on scooters

Shortly after Price arrived in Toronto, he decided to buy a bunch of EcoReco Electric Scooters for his teammates, according to WEEI. If the hotel the club was staying at was close enough to the visiting park, a flock of about eight Blue Jays could be seen riding to and from games on these devices.

The "Scooter Gang," as Josh Donaldson calls it, almost didn't have a chance to exist. The team first received their scooters while visiting Yankee Stadium, and they ran into some trouble with team security, Donaldson told WEEI.

“They all showed up when we were playing the Yankees in New York. Then the Yankees security tried to tell us they were going to take us to jail if we rode them at the stadium. We were like, ‘€˜We don’€™t need to go jail so let’€™s put them away.’ I’€™m not going to jail."

The "Scooter Gang" may have suffered a setback on that day, but they would eventually prevail. After a September game against the Boston Red Sox, the eight Blue Jays players with scooters could be seen riding them in the park and back to the team hotel.

I'm disappointed. I would have loved to have seen how MLB responds to a bunch of wanna be cops "arresting" half of an MLB team including the eventual MVP of the league and a runner up to the Cy Young. That would have been hilarious.
