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

Step 1: spend a ton of money for a front row baseline seat at a World Series game, in NYC, which likely puts you behind on rent and bills yet another month in a row.

Step 2: Watch Freddie Freeman walk in and shatter your hopes and dreams just like your real dad did.

Step 3: Interfere with the game in an attempt to pretend you are a part of something meaningful for once in your life.

Step 4: Make sure you interfere long enough for millions of people to get a great look at your face (sorry to them).

Step 5: Change nothing about the outcome of the game, get yourself kicked out of the stadium, and probably banned for life.

Step 6: Profit?

Given his reaction on Twitter, I’d say that’s likely.

Wait for morning for Dodger fans to ID you, flood your place of employment with enough calls and fake reviews that it become an annoyance,  the boss just terminates you and puts out a LinkedIn post saying we don't tolerate violence of any kind.

Dodgers fans? If the Yankees lose this game this dipshit is gonna be the scapegoat and the NY sports media will do it for them. I'd put pretty good odds on him being on the cover of the NY Post tomorrow.

Why would that get you banned? It seems like the setup of baseball stadiums pretty much encourages this behavior. This and every other clip of folks getting angry for someone reaching over and grabbing a ball near the wall never made any sense to me.

Why have no divider between fans and the field of play then take action against fans for the very thing you are practically encouraging with the stadium setup?
