Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr. Dismisses 'Steroids' Chants vs. Yankees: I Just Embrace It

If you want to jeer at San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr, you need to prepare for him to respond.

Before the first pitch had even been thrown when the Padres took on the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium, the Bronx faithful were hurling chants about his use of steroids that caused him to be suspended for 80 games last season.

Amidst chants of "Steroids" and "Where's the needle?" that preceded the first pitch, Tatis Jr. decided to point at his wrist, signifying that it was too early to for the chants. After a solo home run a few innings later, he took the time to give his hecklers a wave.
