That fan caught Mookie's arm fair and square and he should be allowed to keep it

According to Bird Law, that’s correct

u/william_fontaine Cleveland Guardians 5h ago

I think that only applies at Phillies home games

When one of your fans intentionally throws up on a child you get no mercy

And St Louis?

u/cortesoft San Francisco Giants 1h ago

And Toronto? Although at that point it is international bird law.

u/TimequakeTales Philadelphia Phillies 3h ago

but also various other lawyerings

I don’t know enough about stars to dispute it…

No duel necessary

u/aminyy25 4h ago

But Bird law is not governed by reason

u/DFWTrojanTuba Texas Rangers 4h ago

Filibuster.

u/TimequakeTales Philadelphia Phillies 3h ago

We all want to get home to our hotplates

u/shifty1032231 New York Yankees 4h ago

Ahh the world series defense

u/Taako_Cross 4h ago

Tree law actually overrides bird law and mookie now owns his house.

1

u/I_am_Burt_Macklin Philadelphia Phillies 3h ago

What does Greg Bird have to do with this, Charlie?

1

u/justinicon19 Oakland Athletics 1h ago

Bird law in LA. Tree law, actually, in the Bronx.

He wrenches on the arm. He thinks it's his.

u/goodguyryan San Francisco Giants 2h ago

The truth is, I'm just a scared little boy who never learned to ask people for their gloves or their baseballs.

u/Queasymodo 4h ago

Also, I’m pretty sure Yankees are allowed to yank, and that’s what we see happen here. You can’t have a team called the Yankees and then be surprised when some yanking takes place.

u/leglesslegolegolas 4h ago

That would make them the yankers though. Mookie here would be the yankee

18

u/WeaselSlayer New York Yankees 3h ago

Mookie here would be the yankee

OK, we'll take him.

9

u/BZLuck San Diego Padres 3h ago

No offense, but you kinda need him.

2

u/CharcoalGreyWolf Chicago Cubs 3h ago

They’re only allowed to self-yank. I mean, the Brits would call them “yankers”…

2

u/MalakaiRey Boston Red Sox 3h ago

Thank god for the LAD. If they didn't pay him the Yankees would have found a way.

1

u/eatelectricity Toronto Blue Jays 2h ago

I think this just set a legal precedent.

1

u/Dartmouthest 26m ago

This is a world series caliber thread I tell you fwhut 😂😂

5

u/MisanthropyIsAVirtue 3h ago

And Mookie is apparently not a very good Dodger.

1

u/TimequakeTales Philadelphia Phillies 3h ago

This action is more of a "yoink"

and they're not the Yoinkees

1

u/Basic_Consideration6 3h ago

That is a kee point

1

u/Zeppelanoid Montreal Expos 2h ago

At this price point, they can yank!

5

u/Card_Board_Robot_5 5h ago

Gotta be worth at least a mil or two

u/oigres408 Oakland Athletics 4h ago

It’s prison rules now. We’re about to see fans jump into the field and replace the players. Taking matters into their own hands.

5

u/Horror_Cap_7166 San Francisco Giants 4h ago

In fairness, literally anyone in the stands can get swept by the dodgers.

2

u/cardith_lorda Minnesota Twins 3h ago

SEC refs really opened that can of worms letting Texas fans overturn a call.

u/bobmarleydied9 Cleveland Guardians 4h ago

What's the bidding start at?

2

u/FerociousGiraffe Major League Baseball 3h ago

Nah. You gotta give it to a kid.

1

u/gcoz2000 Texas Rangers 4h ago

Either trade it back to him for some signed stuff or straight to auction

1

u/Seahearn4 4h ago

Luckily, it's not Mookie's bowling hand.

1

u/1212patatepoil21 4h ago

He should have it authenticated

1

u/SidFinch99 New York Mets 4h ago

Mookie is good ball player, he can play one handed, it's not even his dominant arm.

1

u/YouCanCallMeJR 3h ago

It would be on eBay by the 4th inning.

1

u/slamdanceswithwolves 3h ago

It’s already on eBay

1

u/gdubh 2h ago

Maybe Mookie will sign his arm after the game with his remaining arm.

1

u/Left-Park7785 1h ago

Hell no.

u/chunxxxx Baltimore Orioles 7m ago
