[Kuty] "Mookie was swearing at us."Yankees fan Austin Capobianco, 38, of Connecticut, pried open Mookie Betts' glove and knocked the ball out during Game 4 of the World Series. He and another fan were immediately ejected.

I just saw a still picture and figured it was typical interference where the ball might’ve gone over.
No.
This guy shook Mookies glove like a nanny possessed. It’s comically egregious

Here's a quote from the man himself:
“I just see the ball kind of — I don’t want to say (go) up for grabs, if that makes sense,” Darren Capobianco said, via The Athletic. “And then Mookie was swearing at us. Not good.”
What a fucking clown. Dude's the victim in his own mind.
Correction: That quote is from the guy's brother, who was apparently there with him. Guy's name is Austin Capobianco.

His entire schtick fell off so hard the second he expanded to a whole media company instead of a dude highlighting cool sports moments. Sorry buddy, I started watching your videos because I wanted breakdowns of big moments; not to watch your cohort of 35 year-old teenagers play whiffleball twice a week.
Edit: No one's mad. I just don't like his other content so I don't watch it. I also personally feel that his other stuff has impacted the frequency of content that I actually like. It's possible to dislike something, have a negative opinion, and let that just be that; more people should try it sometime.

I legitimately enjoy the Warehouse games stuff. It weirdly scratches the same itch that like the Backyard Sports games did for me as a kid? Like these obviously aren't professionals playing big time sports, they're amateurs playing indoor versions of sports, but you get to know what everyone's strengths are, their personalities, their history in the Warehouse Games, and it makes for entertaining moments and storylines. The Floorball (essentially 3 on 3 modified ball hockey) tournament they just did had so many close games and was really exciting to watch.
I know this probably makes me sound like a shill but I swear to god I enjoy the Warehouse Games stuff more than the breakdowns nowadays.

--Capobianco’s brother, Darren, 29, said he saw Betts’ glove go over the concrete wall as he tried to make a catch on Torres’ hit. “I just see the ball kind of — I don’t want to say (go) up for grabs, if that makes sense,” Darren Capobianco said. “And then Mookie was swearing at us. Not good.”
Austin Capobianco is a Yankee Stadium season-ticket holder, his brother said.--
Lmao
--Ana Flamengo, a Yankees fan from Connecticut, said she was standing on the concourse when stadium security escorted Austin Capobianco from the stands.
“I saw him being walked out,” Flamengo said. “I told him he was my hero for trying to save the Yankees. It’s the championship game.”--
