After loyal Oakland fan John Spencer was caught on video being doused with beer and pelted with a cup at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night, the A’s wanted to make it right by sending him a care package “that doesn’t smell like beer.”
Spencer kept his cool and took it in stride.

The A’s put out a tweet asking to find the man.
Do you know this A’s fan? We’d like to find him, hook him up with some new Oakland A’s gear that doesn’t smell like beer.
Much love from Hero-Town, buddy.

It only took one hour before they found Spencer, an Oakland native and current New York resident who was wearing an Eric Chavez jersey at the game.
That's me!! Never been more proud to be an A's fan. Born and raised in Oakland but living in Brooklyn now. Sad my chavez jersey got covered in beer but it was so worth it! Y'all are the best!

Spencer, who had tweeted Thursday that he had “met plenty of awesome yankee fans too,” will be getting new A’s gear from the team, who will also host him at a game next season.
Dude is living the twitter famous life now.
Here's a pic of me with my girlfriend Lucy, after the beer was thrown. We're still in good spirits (also luckily, Lucy wasn't there when the dude poured beer all over me) pic.twitter.com/u0CuSSbJMR
