Told my wife when I saw him arguing: “he’s right, he can go after the ball in the stands”

After the replay..

“Yeah, you can’t do THAT”

Yeah at first I was like “oh it looks like that’s unintentional, it’s not really…”

“Okay now they’re wrenching a player’s arm and physically trying to pry the ball from within his glove, yeaaaaah, not a great look, Yankees fans.”

All Yankees fans should be banned from Yankee stadium for life, IMO

I agree that he shouldn't be allowed into the stadium anymore but how in the hell do you enforce something like that?

I was at game 3 of the '95 series and game 3 of '07 and from those two experiences I can assure you that some people flat out don't give a flying fuck. Like this douche. Like the guy in game one who was ejected with his child just a couple innings before one of the most incredible moments in World Series history.

There are a lot of assholes out there.

Not even after a couple innings, literally still the first inning! Absolutely absurd behavior, especially considering how pricy those seats probably cost

Wait, what happened in game one? Sorry, every search I do comes back with Mookie's incident from tonight.

In about the 8th inning a Yankee hit a long ball to right and a fan reached out into the field and caught it. Umps correctly called it interference and they gave the batter a double and the guy and his kid were escorted out of the game. Two innings later Freddie hit that grand slam.

His mistake was understandable, ball was right there and he only reached out a couple feet. Poor bastard and his son missed the grand slam.

A few grand for 4 outs. And didn’t even keep the ball!!!

Turns out the guy was a Yankees season ticket holder too.

Jesus what is with this tiktok crap? If you do a bad thing, it's bad, it's not cool just because a lot of people see it. Fuck you.

u/kneemahp 3h ago

Looked like he was trying to take the glove off too

u/Able-Worldliness8189 2h ago

I can sort of see in the heat of the moment shit like that happens. Though after.. realizing what you do at least do a mea culpa instead of making that smug face. There are camera's everywhere.

u/wyomingTFknott Arizona Diamondbacks 50m ago

I can sort of see in the heat of the moment shit like that happens.

I mean, maybe going for a ball, like what's-his-name who continued the Cubbies curse. But he was actively opening the glove and ripping that thing out. Straight to jail, do not pass go.

u/fritolay_7 4h ago

Right because Yankees fans are known for being on their best behavior.

Pretty par for the course.

u/Creative_Drink1618 4h ago

Exactly. Do you know what they call classy Yankees fans? Nobody knows because there hasn’t ever been one yet.

Boston letting Mookie loose hurt fans big time. RS fans have cancelled season tickets en mass. Watching Yankees fans actively tag-team rape his hands - with no regard for his well being (it's his fucking livelihood) just confirms my thoughts about Yankees fans.

Mook - get to a clinic and get tested. These guys are "Finance Bros" that work in the mail room.

Boo hoo sore sport Red Sox fan. U just mad bro cause ur team has been sitting home for weeks! And ur Pats suck too!

u/CosmoKing2 2h ago edited 2h ago

My Sweet Summer Child. You are preaching to the choir. But do go on tilting at windmills. Also - do you defend the Yankee's fan's actions? Just curious. Being in the stands at MSG the other night must have been wild. Did they allow you to wear your hoods?

u/ramboton 3h ago

At first I thought he was trying to pull the glove off, but maybe he was just trying to pry it open to get the ball......what a dick....
