Kate Upton furious over fan interference call in Game 4
Kate Upton was furious over the fan interference call made during Game 4 of the ALCS on Wednesday.
Upton, the wife of Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander, expressed her unhappiness with the call that cost the Astros a two-run home run in the first inning.
Upton called it a “bulls— call” and even went as far as to retweet someone else who said MLB has an anti-Astros conspiracy theory.
So if a player is IN the stands fans are suppose to move over? If those are the rules MLB shouldn’t let fans sit there. They didn’t reach over the fence. @MLB

Totally agree!! MLB wants a LA-Bos World Series for ratings. As usual, Show-Stros not good enough in their eyes.

She also got upset over the way she says she was disrespected on Twitter over her gender.
I feel the need to acknowledge & address the amount of people who have called me “princess”, “honey” or a terrible “girl” sports fan. Just because I have an opinion on the call doesn’t give you the right to be degrading & disrespectful because I’m a woman.

Upton — and every other Astros fan — has a right to be upset over the call. Most would probably agree that the Red Sox caught a break thanks to umpire Joe West’s on-field call of fan interference, which replay was unable to overturn.
This isn’t the first time Upton has gone off on Twitter when she felt her husband (or his team) was robbed. She also did so in response to Rick Porcello winning the Cy Young award two years ago.
