Major League Baseball has banned two women from games indefinitely after they flashed their breasts on live TV during Game 5 of the World Series.

Video of the incident was shared on Twitter. It showed the women, Julia Rose and Lauren Summer, lifting up their shirts as Astros pitcher Gerrit Cole was on the mound in the 7th inning of Sunday’s game at Nationals Park in Washington DC.

The women shared letters they received from MLB saying they had been banned from ballparks because they violated the league’s fan code of conduct by exposing themselves to “promote a business.” Rose is the founder of Shagmag – an online lifestyle and sports publication that features topless photos of models and Instagram influencers – while Summer is the company’s brand executive.

The letters were signed by MLB Vice President for security and ballpark operations David Thomas.

Rose and Summer claimed to have been promoting breast cancer awareness through the stunt.

The women were escorted from their seats behind home plate by security and were briefly taken into police custody, TMZ reported.

A third woman, Kayla Lauren, also wore a yellow Shagmag T-shirt to the game and posted an Instagram story saying she was also kicked out of the game, The New York Post reported.
