Father of struggling Yankees shortstop confronts trash-talking Mets fan during Subway Series
The "MLB on FOX" discussed whether it is time to be worried about Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe’s struggles led to some trash talk by a New York Mets fan on Sunday afternoon in Queens.
Volpe’s father, Michael, was in earshot, and he made sure the heckler was addressed.
Before the signing of "God Bless America" at Citi Field during the Yankees’ 6-4 win over the Mets on Sunday, Michael was caught on video exploding on a Mets fan in between innings.

The video showed what appeared to be his daughter Olivia trying to hold him back, but whatever the Mets fan said sent him over the edge. The expletive-laden retort from Michael showed he wasn’t happy at all with it.
Michael was repeating, "Let’s go!" to the Mets fan multiple times in the TikTok video that went viral.

"Bad mouthing my son. F--- you. F--- you," he shouted back at the Mets fan."
The Mets fan was seen standing up and pointing in Michael’s direction while others stood for the patriotic song.
It’s been a rough go for Volpe of late on the field, as he went 1-of-11 in the Yankees-Mets series. His lone hit was a home run on Saturday, when the Mets won 12-6 to take the series at home after winning the first game on Friday night.
