NEW YORK (AP) — A segment of fans in Yankee Stadium’s right field bleachers chanted “U-S-A! U-S-A!” during the playing of “O Canada” on Friday night before the game between New York and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Most of the fans in the crowd of 44,883 in the ballpark ignored the chanting during the anthem sung by Max Greenberg, a rising junior at Dwight School in Manhattan.

The start of the game was delayed 86 minutes because of rain.

“Hey man, it’s New York,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said after Toronto’s 8-5 victory. “I kind of didn’t even really realize it. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, right? These fans are crazy. They had about a 90-minute head start with the beer on the delay.”
