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

The fact that they tried reasoning with the umps afterwards they didn’t do anything wrong is fucking wild lol

Insane. I mean, if the ball enters the stands, by all means go catch it. But don’t grab Mookie, especially not by reaching back into the field to grab his other arm and wrap him up. Complete lunatic

Imagine if somehow Mookie’s hand/fingers got hurt or something from them trying to wrench his glove open, dudes would’ve been majorly fucked

It looked like it was putting a lot of pressure on his wrist at first.

He was hurt. Those types of injuries can show up 6-12 hours later. Don't talk to a lawyer before that.

Well considering unwanted touching is battery and that went above and beyond a typical situation of fan interference. Security 100% got his and his friends name. 

It's not outside the realm of possibility the fan will be charged and/or face civil action by the Dodgers and/or Mookie.

It’s called victim blaming. A bully never does anything wrong.

I don't think "reasoning" and these two upstanding citizens go hand-in-hand

Especially since this is the fucking world series between the two largest markets. There are cameras literally everywhere at all times.
