Tigers' Collins Flips Off Home Crowd During Win Over Athletics

Typically, a professional athlete doesn't need to worry about being booed by their team's home crowd.

That wasn't the case for Detroit Tigers center fielder Tyler Collins on Monday night. After missing what looked to be a routine fly ball in the lights at Comerica Park in Detroit, the home crowd started heckling him.

He didn't take too kind to the booing and was caught on camera flipping off the fans.

"It was frustration," Collins said in a post game interview. "I don't want to hear that at home, we deal with that enough on the road. With that being said, I should be more mature and more grown up than that to be able to deal with it and that's where I apologize."
