Toronto — The man in a photo police released showing the person they allege was responsible for throwing a beer can on the field during the Jays Wildcard game with Baltimore has stepped forward.

Ken Pagan, in an email to The Canadian Press late Wednesday, says he’s the man in the photo and had contacted Toronto police earlier that night, adding he couldn’t say much more.

The Toronto Sun reports it contacted Pagan and that he suggested police may not have it right, saying he was “drinking out of a cup.”

Pagan worked as a sports reporter in North Bay for several years and was the North Bay Sports Hall of Fame “Friend of Sport” award winner in 2013.
