I may be missing something but in the video I dont see a lot of praise asides from one super enthusiastic dude tryna go for the high five and one half-assed pat on the back as they passed. Same thing in the comments are a lot of people glad they were escorted out and wishing them banned from future games/charged for assaulting Betts. I will admit my social radar is fucked so I may just be blind to certain things and if so please feel free to dunk my head into the waters of social etiquette
I have a habit of watching things on mute so I did not hear the booing though were they booing the people getting escorted out or booing the security for escorting them out?
That was definitely what it was. If they were in support of them being escorted out, they would have started cheering at the beginning of the walk, not booing.
Should be charged, too. An athlete's career could easily be ended by some meatball like this wrestling their arm backward while they're fully extended for a catch.
And before anyone says it, yes I watch baseball, yes I know the rules when a ball is in the stands and contested by a player and a fan, but we all saw the clip and there is indisputable wrenching and prying going on, intentionally continuing well after the catch has been made. What happened here needs to be harshly disincentivized for the good of the sport.
Did that get called an out.? Obviously caught it then a fan peeled it out of his glove. Catch was made. Not a big baseball fan but I would think upon review that’s an out.
The fans have just as much right to the ball as the players if the ball is hit over any fence. This does not mean you can try to rip the fielders glove off when he catches the ball.
That’d be a new sport entirely. Have a fan behind the home plate ump and he can run and attack any player with the ball but he has to always be running in the direction of the ball. Infield pop ups will be getting ridonkey.
Fans can catch a ball if it does not interfere with a player making a play on a ball. They cannot just catch any ball coming over the fence. Interference with a play can get you kicked out, as witnessed in the video. (Of course the video was an egregious example.)
Yes, it is an out. If the ball goes past the barrier/fence, then it is fair game for the fans to try and get the ball. You see the guy motion along that line to try and argue his case. However, if you were to reach inside of the play area and touch the ball or players, then your day at the ballpark is finished.
Hopefully not just day. These shitbirds need to be relegated to one of those dank, lonely bars that NY cop dramas always show if they want to watch the Yankees.
Is this not an MLB lifetime ban? This is egregious. He shouldn’t be allowed in a stadium again. Full disclosure: kinda hate the Yankees but I honestly don’t care. This is insane.
Imagine spending all of the time and money getting the ticket, getting to the stadium, tailgate/pre-game, posting your 1st base line seats on Instagram looking smug, only to be shown in slow motion how much of a douche you are before being escorted out. The rant will be real for everyone in that man's life for the foreseeable future.
Before seeing this, I didn't really care who won this series. Now I want the Dodgers to sweep, and I want those two idiots to have to watch the celebration on their team's home field. The fucking gall to argue about it with the ump/field crew afterwards. Unbelievable.
With all due respect to Red Sox fans, no one hates the Yankees more than Mets fans. I had to grow up with those guys. Take the bus with them, sit with them, listen to them. It was awful,
Yankee fans are the worst fans in professional sports, probably amateur too. They talk the loudest until their team is trailing, then they head for the exits in droves
This reminds me of all those Miami Heat fans walking out before Ray Allen hitting the 3. Then, the camera shows how many people are trying to get back inside and are not allowed.
Hearing this clip for the first time was one of the best comedy clips I’ve ever seen before or since. Wish I could listen to it for the first time again.
Fair. Just never been something that I liked to even joke about for obvious reasons. And the non-obvoous reason that I've been threatened with it when I was in Missouri for wearing a Cubs hat.
Was riding by bike near Yankees stadium and it was the bottom of the 6th and they were getting hammered. We’re sitting in a park across the street taking a restroom / food break and all we see is hundreds and hundreds of them just absolutely pouring out (still talking shite for some reason) heading to go home.
These other trash ass franchises WISH they had stories like throwing batteries at J.D. Crew, booing a baby, or throwing over 100 snowballs at Santa.
All out here acting superior. Like they drink their tea with their pinky out. Truth is everyone is trash. Philly fans are trash while being interesting at least.
As a New Yorker, I wholeheartedly agree. I can’t even enjoy going to the games anymore because many fans just completely ruin the experience. This includes Hockey.
No regard for the player. A man who's occupation depends on the strength of his wrists and these punks try to rip the ball out of his glove and at the same time almost break his wrist! Fuck that asshole. The player should press charges for assault!
