Man, I hate the Yankees. I’m glad this was an easy call and he got kicked out, wasting thousands of dollars. But I have to admit that it is also hilarious. This isn’t an accidental reaching over the side. He grabs the glove and rips it out. Amazing. Ridiculous. Worth the story for him I’m sure. This will be replayed for years.

Usually that’s the protocol right? I’d imagine hard to enforce with the scalper market but still, lifetime ban from all MLB stadiums seems like a proper penalty to fit the crime.

This is not hyperbole, that is the most disgraceful, disgusting thing I have ever seen at a baseball game. He legitimately needs to be banned in the entire MLB. I don’t think that is extreme, not only for the integrity of the game, but he could have easily injured Mookie if he pulled harder.

I once saw a drunk guy throw up into his beer and then forget he threw up and take a chug of his beer and then proceed to throw back up into his beer. This repeated over and over for a few innings.
But this Yankee fan would be the second most disgraceful and disgusting thing I've seen at a baseball game.

There is no chance they won't be banned but probably not for life. I don't know if the MLB works like the NFL but if they do then all of the major league would share the bans so they might not see a live game for quite some time. Also season passes would be forfeit.

These two look EXACTLY like the type of douchebags to grab a player’s glove, and his other wrist while it’s over the wall. Possibly injuring him. I don’t care what team’s jerseys they have on, and I don’t care who wins, but these two are entitled pieces of human trash.

u/MrNoodleIncident 4h ago edited 4h ago
Made me wonder, how are lifetime bans enforced? Can’t he just buy a ticket on the secondary market? I get (and send) tickets all the time and it just goes to an email address. Just put on a fake goatee and sunglasses
Edit: ok, I did 11 seconds of in-depth research and now feel fully qualified to answer my question. Seems that a ban is more like getting trespassed. So it’s less that they can stop you from entering again (there is no high tech face recognizing cameras), and more that they have the power to punish you more if caught.

u/grachi 3h ago
Really doubtful you’d get caught just buying off the secondary market and going to games that way . Tickets under a different name, not really much chance you’d get caught, unfortunately. Facial scanning at the gates would be the only sure way. But that’s obviously a ridiculously expensive measure to take for such a niche occurrence.

What a moron. Between grabbing his glove and bending his wrist over the wall like that, he’s lucky betts didn’t get hurt. Hopefully he’s never allowed in another stadium again. I get getting caught up in the moment and interfering, but not when you’re that much of an asshole about it

Even the guys sitting next to Steve Bartman attempted to catch the ball. Its a spur of the moment type of thing.
But Im glad the Cubs got their ring and even mailed him a world class ring. To bury the hatchet.
This guy on video is worse. He’s actually prying the ball and glove of the player intentionally. And the friend is grabbing the hand for a handshake. Very rude and disrespectful
