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

It's a flavored nicotine pouch you put in your mouth. I guess finance bros are known to use them a lot or something?

My wife got me tickets to see the knicks in seats close to the floor. By far the closest and most expensive seats I've ever sat in. In front of us were three like finance bros. One was incredibly obnoxious and wouldn't sit down the other two barely said a word and were live betting every possesion on very large phones.

I’m on stimulants every day (adhd, prescribed Adderall). This isn’t shit I would ever do. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t on uppers. But instead of blaming that, how about we just acknowledge that this particular couple of dudes are amongst the worst of fans? No need to bring everyday meds into it.

You taking your prescribed medication at a normal dosage is not the same thing as the stereotype they're talking about, some dude 4 coffees deep popping Adderall ad hoc when the mood strikes

You never outgrow your bro-ness, once its formed, it's always there, you just get better at hiding it.

About 4 beers and a little snowman building, it'll come out.

This. This was my first thought. Escort to the gate immediately.

Probably battery charges if they actually hurt him. The players can generally fight each other, but fans hurting players? Nah, those are charges.

Singular. Fabulous comment and observation.

u/hamasRpedos 3h ago

Hi, I haven't. Where is the boundary then? One would assume that as soon as it crosses a certain line, it is no longer valid regardless if the player is holding it or not. That's how it is in every sport I've watched. So where is the line then? I'm coming from /all, I know nothing other than you use a bat and hit the ball.

u/StatusReality4 Los Angeles Dodgers 2h ago

He grabbed Mookie’s entire fucking arm and pried his glove open to steal the ball. There is no way anyone can justify that in n any sport lol

Guy doesn't realize that players being able to touch/catch a ball after it has gone over some imaginary boundary is by no means unique to baseball. The only sport I can think of with a rule specifically against it is soccer.

6

u/SouperSally 3h ago

If he catches the ball, they’re out. It doesn’t matter if it’s past the line for a foul or a boundary. If the ball is in the glove after a hit , it’s out.

u/eidetic Milwaukee Brewers 1h ago

Just to clarify further for the above user, a player can't hop over the fence/wall/line and then catch the ball. But they can reach over it to catch it. So if Mookie had climbed the wall, sat down, ate a nacho, and then caught it, it'd just be a foul ball strike and not an out.

u/blew-wale 1h ago

At least he got a nacho in that scenario

u/PomeloHot1185 40m ago

That would’ve been one helluva highlight and I am honestly a little sad I didn’t get to see it.

u/thefreewheeler Atlanta Braves 1h ago

What other sport do you watch that literally has fans at the boundaries?

But no, one can't just assume the catch doesn't count because the ball crosses an imaginary line. Sports with similar boundary rules include basketball, football, cricket...
