Oakland A’s fans are resorting to the old 'ex-girlfriend cutout head in an effort to distract an opposing player' trick.
Here's a photo taken prior to ALDS Game 5 between the A’s and Detroit Tigers on Thursday that shows a few A’s fans holding a cutout of Kate Upton:

All last year, Upton was rumored to be the girlfriend of Tigers ace Justin Verlander. Neither party confirmed nor denied the relationship, but the two were in a commercial together and photographed together during the season. Verlander’s grandfather appeared to confirm the relationship, however. But in February, Upton said in an interview that she is single, leading everyone to believe they are no longer together.
