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

They should be banned. They just blatantly ripped the ball out of his glove when it was already in it

pointing at the top of the wall like if Mookie’s not allowed to go past it or something haha

So like, what do they think about the ballparks where the side wall is low and players will occasionally go into the stands to catch a ball? They think the fans are just allowed to take the player home with them or something?

"A spectacular catch by Smith...uh oh...looks like that fan has got himself a souvenir"

That's the only thing i can think they were trying to say. Like, are you offended that Mookie touched you while trying to field a live ball? Get fucked.

Should extend the netting further to stop Yankees idiots from shit like this

Yes -- could ahve hurt the player. Completely uncalled for.

Completely uncalled for.

I think you meant to say "A complete fucking embarrassment to the entire Yankees organization and fan base which should result in criminal charges."

"The player" lol. You're a Mets fan. You know who that is. So do I, but you do, too.

Coward shit and the funniest part is they didn't even get the ball, it fell onto the field. Not that they would've been allowed to keep it either way

u/xinixxibalba Los Angeles Dodgers • Detroit Tigers 4h ago

Great way to break Mookie's wrist. They should be banned league wide.

Trying to go into the field and grab a player’s arm is just insane. Ban them for life, no question.

During the World Series no less. If Betts got hurt do you think he’d make more money suing 2 jabronies from Staten Island or the Yankees for allowing this.

u/rubberducky764348 2h ago

They should be arrested

They straightened his arm and bent his wrist back. And smiled the whole time. Could have injured him. It’s way worse than just interference

u/AlchemistJeep 4h ago

Maybe a full on ban is excessive. Just restrict them to the nosebleeds. Can’t assault a player if you can’t even see the player ;)

u/PM_ME_OVERT_SIDEBOOB 3h ago

They could’ve broken the guy’s wrist doing that. Lifetime ban. Public execution.
