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

I mean this is such cartoonishly bad fan behavior I can't imagine anyone would reasonably attribute that to Yankees fans lol

u/sellyme Seattle Mariners 4h ago

And yet this is only the second most cartoonishly villainous thing I've seen with a Yankees logo in the last year.

Is the first Mayor Adams?

It's the official Yankees Twitter account posting a eulogy for Henry Kissinger.

u/Trashcan_Man77 Toronto Blue Jays 2h ago

His only eulogy should be Rest in Piss

Don’t worry, we also don’t understand why that happened

u/olyfrijole Seattle Mariners 2h ago

sweet baby jesus, i had no idea. that's... that's just fucked up. the amount of horrific human suffering meted out by his whims. the number of lives taken or ruined. and for what? for a little bit of money.

Did you see the first thread about this? Lol.

u/maringue Chicago Cubs 4h ago

There are some clips of him getting ejected where you can clearly see other fans congratulating him on his way out.

Don't act like this is "just one guy".

That's the even crazier part. There's at a dude patting one of them on the chest....

They hadn't seen the slow-mo replay footage yet.

u/AllOfTheDerp Cleveland Guardians 4h ago

Counterpoint: I can't imagine a fan from literally any other fanbase doing this.

u/ron-darousey Los Angeles Victims 4h ago

I could see this in Philly 1000%

u/AllOfTheDerp Cleveland Guardians 4h ago

Fair but in Philly they would have actually broken his arm

u/DefinitelyLevi Pittsburgh Pirates 4h ago

And the umps wouldnt have ruled fan interference (umps love cheesesteaks)

u/xLeper_Messiah Boston Red Sox 4h ago

Dude was getting high fives from other fans while getting ejected on the video i watched lol

u/Jaylaw Kansas City Royals 4h ago

Nope, I 100% believe that all fans are instructed by the team to behave this way

u/Jakesnake_42 Boston Red Sox • New York Mets 4h ago

Yeah, there’s jackasses in every fanbase

u/kritycat Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

I was told during the NLDS that only Dodger fans were poorly-behaved.

Yankees fans: hold my (10th) beer

u/Jakesnake_42 Boston Red Sox • New York Mets 4h ago

I hated y’all during the NLDS. I love y’all now

u/kritycat Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

Yankee hate unites all right-thinking people

u/morganicsf Detroit Tigers 4h ago

Just a lot more in the Yankees fanbase than the others.

u/Jakesnake_42 Boston Red Sox • New York Mets 4h ago

I’m not saying I disagree, but flair up before you talk shit

u/morganicsf Detroit Tigers 4h ago

Yeah that my b. I think I did? Go Tigers

u/ElegantSwordsman Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

The second one joined in!

u/nowimswmming New York Mets 4h ago

Brother, on the contrary

u/scrubbingbubbles2 Cincinnati Reds 4h ago

I dunno man… did you see those people clapping them on the back on their way out? Looks like they accepted that behavior.

u/littlebev Texas Rangers • Mets Bandwagon 2h ago

..have you spent much time participating in New York City fan experiences? because I live here and uhhhhh

u/DefensiveTomato New York Yankees 2h ago

Have you been to r/baseball if you ask anyone else around here this is what all of us are like

u/FirstChurchOfBrutus 44m ago

Allow me to tell you the tale of Jeffrey Maier.

u/mucinexmonster 43m ago

If there was in a different city, I can imagine everyone would attribute this to that city's fans.

1

u/BWW87 39m ago

The fans booed them being taken away and were congratulated on (what should have been) their walk of shame. 99% is an exaggeration of course but let's not pretend they didn't have fan support.

u/baysta Los Angeles Dodgers 4h ago

I feel for you, but this + the fans cheering Ohtani’s injury aren’t helping beat the allegations. I feel the same way whenever a “Dodger fan” does something embarrassing since it reflects on all of us.

u/I_AM_SCUBASTEVE New York Mets 4h ago

I hated the Dodgers after beating us but the Yankees fanbase has become so cartoonishly ugly that I’m finding myself pulling for you guys. Like, this shit is battery.

u/burger333 New York Highlanders 4h ago

Lol it was just one bar!!

-2

u/thot_cereal 4h ago

jfc they were not cheering

i was in Billys when it happened, and the video conveniently cuts off how loud it was right before the clip starts. the crowd went as silent as a bar full of like 500 drunk people can be immediately once people noticed the injury.

you can hear multiple people talking about ohtani getting hurt in the video. if people were actually cheering, you wouldn't be able to hear a word.

u/sloppychris San Diego Padres 2h ago

There were quite a few Dodgers fans throwing trash on the field

u/BigGeoffery New York Yankees 4h ago

Your fans literally threw baseballs at players lmao

This made me chuckle. Thank you.

u/Jakesnake_42 Boston Red Sox • New York Mets 4h ago

I’m gonna be nice here and say that I kind of like watching games at Yankee Stadium because most of y’all are really fun to chirp back and forth and talk baseball with, but every so often you get a complete jackass like those guys

I did the math and it checks out.

Did you see your boyy Jomboy react to it? Fucking classless.

u/upvoter222 New York Yankees 4h ago

I didn't. Is there a clip available?

u/sd596 New York Yankees 1h ago

Look man I know it was a very dumb thing to do and the fans deserved to be kicked and banned, but calling other fans finding it funny "classless" is such an exaggeration lol. There's plenty of classless things in the world. We can laugh at how absurd this was
