On Thursday evening Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman donned a Drew Brees jersey and was pictured wearing it on the New Orleans Saints’ sidelines at M&T Bank Stadium. Gausman was accompanied by fiancee Taylor North who also sported a Saints jersey.
The lanky hard-throwing right hander decided to Tweet out the picture and some Baltimore fans didn’t take to kindly to it…
Pumped to see my Saints take on the Ravens tonight with @tnorth2!! #DontHateMeBirdland #Preseason pic.twitter.com/nQ2etmwOQb

Which triggered this…
“Kevin Gausman should be more worried about not being a pathetic bust than going to some preseason football game.” — Orioles FB Comments (@OsFBCommenter) August 15, 2015
In Gausman’s defense he did attend LSU and North is a former LSU cheerleader who grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Eventually Gausman responded to restless fans with this Tweet.
I will wear a Ravens jersey when the Ravens give me a signed Flacco jersey haha #FootballSeason

So to have a little fun and to make light of the situation, we’ve offered up this challenge…
Kevin how about this…you throw 6 innings and keep the pitch count to 85 and we’ll buy one for you! https://t.co/m6MHcs5MDU — Russell St. Report (@RussellStReport) August 14, 2015
Of course someone had to get their panties in a bunch on Facebook over that too!
I guess that’s how the PC world turns.
But hey, just think if Gausman went to Pitt.
