Fan booted from ballpark wearing LeBron's Heat jersey tells his story

CLEVELAND - Cleveland fans have not been quick to forgive LeBron James for the way he left his hometown team for the Miami Heat, and Wednesday night’s Indians game is the most recent example of the city’s disdain for its former “King.”

A fan wore James' new Miami Heat jersey to the Indians and New York Yankees game, and he had to be escorted out of Progressive Field by security.

While Matthew Bellamy was booed a little, he said things heated up when he ended up on the balllpark's Jumbotron.

"I had three glasses of beer thrown at me, which ruined one of my jerseys, peanuts were flying, pieces, parts of food were flying. We weren't able to get to our seats cause they wouldn't let us sit down," Bellamy said. "I understand it's a little fresh still. But he was born and raised in Ohio. You can't turn your back on him that quick. At least I can't."

Video caught Bellamy taunting Cleveland fans with the jersey as he made his way to the left-field bleachers, which then resulted in boos and vulgar chants from the Indians fans. The same video shows Bellamy's girlfriend was also taunting the crowd, and she was seen giving fans an obscene finger gesture as they were escorted out of the bleachers.

Hundreds of fans were booing, shouting and snapping pictures before security led him out of the stadium. A number of fans also followed him out to the gate, chanting the entire time.

"The cop called me a few names that I really don't appreciate... He just called me an a-hole a few times so I really don't appreciate that," Bellamy said.
