Toronto police have identified the fan that threw a beer can at Hyun soo Kim during a routine fly ball in Tuesday night's American League Wild Card game at Rogers Centre.

The man was identified as journalist Ken Pagan, a PostMedia employee.

Pagan is a copy editor for PostMedia, which owns and operates the Toronto Sun.

The Blue Jays released the following statement:

"Throughout this season, we have witnessed an incredible level of fan engagement, with a passionate and loyal fan base that extends across Canada.

"On the heels of one of the most competitive and exhilarating baseball games in our club's history, it is extremely unfortunate that the irresponsible actions of one individual would detract from the game on the field, and tarnish an otherwise memorable night."
