MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—As Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire stormed off the field following his latest ejection, he punted his cap high over his head and back onto the turf.
The emotional exit fired up his Twins and sparked them to a four-run inning. But it also ignited the Metrodome crowd to nasty results.
Jason Kubel (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7425/;_ylt=AmwwV7qH.KSqx33UC.flP4apu7YF)’s three-run homer highlighted an unruly seventh inning in the Twins’ 10-6 victory over the Chicago White Sox (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/chw/;_ylt=AghCuLAY5U5.fkQYxlViAyipu7YF) on Thursday night. The game was stopped for several minutes when fans threw hats and baseballs onto the turf and had the White Sox running for the shelter of the dugout.
“I don’t like to see the game get stopped because of something like that,” Gardenhire said. “I can’t control it. What am I going to do? But my reaction out there led to something and I don’t like it. I felt bad.”

Will Gardenhire and/or the Twins' organization be fined because of this? I have to imagine they will.
