Wednesday’s game between the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park was briefly delayed when a sizable contingent of fans simultaneously used their cell phone lights. Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire believes that such antics create a “dangerous” environment for players, particularly for those taking at-bats. The situation came to a head during the seventh inning with Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos stepped into the batter’s box and initiated a conversation with home plate umpire Mike DiMuro. Gardenhire then came out of the dugout and had a discussion with DiMuro, who afterward walked over to the Red Sox dugout.A brief delay ensued until Fenway security got control of the situation by asking fans in the center-field bleachers to refrain from lighting up their phones. After the game, Gardenhire bemoaned the situation and the potential risk it entails for players.“You ever tried to hit with a light like that in your face? It’s not supposed to happen,” Gardenhire said after Detroit’s 7-1 loss, via
