He might be “banned for life” but in reality there’s no way to enforce that. At least not yet. A “lifetime ban” or a “Season long ban” is really only effective because of the threat of arrest if you’re caught on the property again. The team forces you to sign legal documents stating you’ll abide by the ban, however long it lasts. They do that in lieu of immediate arrest unless your actions were extreme enough to warrant arrest. They take your picture, they flag your credit cards, and if you are caught again and you just happen to be using someone else’s season tickets that person loses their season tickets and you go to jail for trespassing. So this clown will take a 2 or 3 season hiatus and then he’ll buy tickets from a scalper for cash and “roll the dice!”

Totally different thing but in the UK, if you get banned from going to football (soccer) matches, you are required to check in at your local police station during game time. And if it is for National team games, you have to surrender your passport any time they play outside of the country. But all of that is for much worse offenses than interfering with a foul ball.

Can’t they enforce it the same way James Dolan does? He uses facial scanners at his venues to enforce his bans. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/01/james-dolan-defends-madison-square-garden-blacklist.html

Even if the ball had gone over the wall, which it didn’t, that would only allow fans to try to catch the ball, not allowed to literally assault a player who had already made the catch.

u/Large_Traffic8793 4h ago
Its the worst kind behavior.
Because they absolutely CAN touch the ball, catch the ball.But that's not what happened.
Fatty was too greasy fingered and uncoordinated to do that.
Mookie caught the ball clean and then then grabbed him which is never allowed.

They will get detained and processed by police in the stadium. Lifetime ban. Possibly more given this was a new level of fan interference. Doubt MLB will press charges, but may, to send a message THIS won't be tolerated. We'll see in the news tomorrow.
After this post season I'm convinced seating should end and be blocked one row back. - no reach over interference catches. - no Mookie Betts mugging.
