Three Instagram models banned after ‘exposing’ themselves during game

World Series flasher Julia Rose said on Thursday that she was blocked on Twitter by the Houston Astros pitcher she exposed herself to during Game 5.

The Shagmag founder, who was banned indefinitely by Major League Baseball after flashing Gerrit Cole on Monday, posted a semi-nude picture on Twitter along with proof of the rejection from the ace hurler.

“I would tag Gerrit Cole … but he blocked me,” Rose wrote next to an image of herself topless while watching the conclusion of the game.

In the image, Cole could be seen on the television screen scowling after his team’s 6-2 Game 7 loss to the Nationals.

The ambitious entrepreneur then posted the image of Cole’s Twitter account, reading “@GerritCole45 blocked you.”

“I am dead,” she wrote in a caption on Instagram.

Cole, whose team suffered a devastating loss, appeared to be annoyed by the whole experience on Wednesday night.

“I’m not employed by the team,” the pitcher told a team official when asked about speaking to the media after the game.

The 2019 edition of the World Series will be remembered for several historical moments. The Nationals winning their first ever title, every single game of the seven game series being won by the away team.

But it was fans in the stands who really stole the limelight throughout the series.

In Game 5 it was the risque exploits of three Instagram models who captured worldwide headlines when they flashed Cole.

And in the series decider in Houston, it was a Washington Nationals fan who stole the attention following the final out of the game.

It wasn’t quite as polarising as the efforts from Rose, Lauren Summer and Kayla Lauren, but the man gave it his best shot.

After the final out, he jumped up onto the top of the dugout before ripping his shirt clean off and launching into belly slide.

It was just one of the wild celebrations that kicked off after the Nationals claimed the 6-2 victory over the Astros.

Down 2-0, the Nationals turned the game on its head with a stunning seventh inning that saw them drive in three runs before adding three more in the final two innings.
