Anthony Bass’ 22-week-pregnant wife was forced to get on her hands and knees to clean up after their toddler dropped popcorn on the floor of a United Airlines flight, and the Toronto Blue Jays star vented his anger on Twitter.
The incident sparked the pregnant mother’s fury when a flight attendant forced her to clean up food that had been spilled.
