Not to me.

Is this the clip you are referring to? If so, I see no screaming? Also, if this is the clip, are you basing your opinion on a 5 second interaction that was suspiciously cut off right after the question was asked?
Could he be leading up to a joke with this question?

This so reminds me of how MSM brainwashes the masses. Fabricate a story that didn't actually happen but if it sells newspapers or gets more people to watch their news on T.V. then the hell with credibility, morals and values.

I agree. The clip also doesn't show the guy Lasorda is talking to. For all we know, he was a Giants fan wearing a shirt that said "Lasorda Sucks" and was flipping Tommy off. Point being, we don't know the whole circumstance and since Tom was gracious right before that with the other fan, my guess is, he was provoked in some way.

Partial news is often fake news.

Tommy was a kidder, a jokester so I can't help but believe this was all part of a setup/lead up to for some joke that I assume went over well. If it didn't, you can bet your bottom dollar the whole vid would have been shown, guaranteed.

Like I said above, it amazes me what some people will believe based on so little information without at least fact checking/verifying the story first. The same goes for MSM. Lies, fake news stories, deception, deflection......the list goes on and on but yet people believe what they are shown to be true, unbiased and factual when nothing could be further from the truth.
