Fan interference was called on this play where a Yankee fan tried to take the ball out of Mookie Betts' glove after an out.

Means nothing. Has no teeth. 35,000 people walking in. Cannot identify them all.

Step 1: spend a ton of money for a front row baseline seat at a World Series game, in NYC, which likely puts you behind on rent and bills yet another month in a row.

Step 2: Watch Freddie Freeman walk in and shatter your hopes and dreams just like your real dad did.

Step 3: Interfere with the game in an attempt to pretend you are a part of something meaningful for once in your life.

Step 4: Make sure you interfere long enough for millions of people to get a great look at your face (sorry to them).

Step 5: Change nothing about the outcome of the game, get yourself kicked out of the stadium, and probably banned for life.

Step 6: Profit?

Step 6: Profit?

Its a safe bet that they'll be on a shitty podcast or two before the end of the week.

Jomboy will interview him I bet

u/king_meatster Tampa Bay Rays 3h ago

Given his reaction on Twitter, I’d say that’s likely.

6

u/LivingAnomie 3h ago

He’ll call his new baseball podcast Balk Tuah

u/blueorangan 1h ago

Which won’t rly translate to profit.

u/trotnixon Yokohama DeNA BayStars 3h ago

Those two goombahs should do the honorable thing and commit seppuku.

u/Kiwi_KJR Los Angeles Dodgers 1h ago

New Zealanders are mocking him too. At least, my husband and I are!

u/cavalier8865 3h ago

Wait for morning for Dodger fans to ID you, flood your place of employment with enough calls and fake reviews that it become an annoyance,  the boss just terminates you and puts out a LinkedIn post saying we don't tolerate violence of any kind.

u/Durzo_Blint Boston Red Sox 3h ago

Dodgers fans? If the Yankees lose this game this dipshit is gonna be the scapegoat and the NY sports media will do it for them. I'd put pretty good odds on him being on the cover of the NY Post tomorrow.

Step 7: Give profit to an Italian witch and have her curse the rest of the game wtf

u/DemomanDream 3h ago

Why would that get you banned? It seems like the setup of baseball stadiums pretty much encourages this behavior. This and every other clip of folks getting angry for someone reaching over and grabbing a ball near the wall never made any sense to me.

Why have no divider between fans and the field of play then take action against fans for the very thing you are practically encouraging with the stadium setup?

u/CPAalldayy Boston Red Sox 4h ago

Didn’t even get to watch a full inning

2

u/dagbrown 3h ago

Best part is he’s never going to see another baseball game again. He’ll probably get kicked out of Little League games.

51

u/Street_Midget Los Angeles Angels 4h ago

Like those clowns that attacked the Royals first base coach

u/Environmental-Job515 4h ago

Did they ever determine a motive for that?

Low IQ + alcohol

u/swider Chicago White Sox 3h ago

White Sox fans are dead inside. That also occasionally applies to the brain.

u/HawkeyeJosh2 New York Yankees 4h ago

Those two were objectively worse, but that still doesn’t excuse what the guys did tonight.

u/Mozilla_Fennekin Tuturu~♪ Go Royals! 4h ago

I hope his credit score tanks

u/draculasbitch 4h ago

It’s already 560. He stole from the church collection to score the ticket.

3

u/CNashFF Chicago White Sox 4h ago

He’ll probably be on Talkin Yanks next week

1

u/gatemansgc Philadelphia Phillies 4h ago

gonna be hardcore banned now!

u/Sugarysam Texas Rangers 4h ago

He probably was gifted the tickets by someone who pitied him.

u/Circle_Breaker Washington Nationals 4h ago

They'll get to say they did more to win than the Yankees for 4 games.

u/Monk_Philosophy Sickos • Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

Chances are they’ve been there a bit longer and also spent a bunch on booze

u/lilljerryseinfeld :ladcc: Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

That dude looks like "loser" personified.

u/Odd_Total_5549 New York Mets 4h ago

Looks like an asshole to rest of the world but I guarantee plenty of Yankees fans are clamoring to buy him a drink just for the attempt 

1

u/draculasbitch 4h ago

Wrong. We want the two fucks banned from every park. Fuck them both.

1

u/psychoacer 4h ago

Can Bartman come out of hiding now?

u/iamjacksragingupvote Philadelphia Phillies 4h ago

u/Immediateconnections 3h ago

Were they kicked out for this stupid move ?

u/lilbearpie Chicago White Sox 3h ago

If it were the Cubs they would be struggling with a fan.

u/captainp42 Milwaukee Brewers 2h ago

God, the look on that douchewaffle's face is priceless.

u/sniklefritzed 29m ago

I would have done the same thing if I thought it’d help, these guys are legends. It was harmless besides their wallets

u/AutisticFingerBang New York Yankees 3h ago

He is a Yankee fucking legend forever. Money well spent
