Being a Major League Baseball player, every athlete is entrusted not to misuse the perks provided to them. However, this was not the case when the Toronto Blue Jays pitcher’s family went through an inconvenience recently. The player took to Twitter feeling disgruntled. In response, many from the baseball community weren’t too pleased with such behavior and claimed that the athlete was misusing his authority as an MLB star.

It is evident that being an MLB player comes with many perks. Even so, according to baseball fans, Jays’ ace Anthony Bass may have used those perks in a way that has left many skeptical of the 35-year-old’s motivations.

What happened with the Toronto Blue Jays pitcher’s family?

While Bass was fulfilling his MLB duties in the ballpark, his pregnant wife with two daughters was traveling via United Airlines. Kids being kids threw tantrums, and the couple’s younger daughter made a mess around them by spilling popcorn over the floor of their flight.
