Two Yankees fans are barred from Game 5 of the World Series after interfering with Mookie Betts, but Alex Verdugo defended the fans‘ „passion.“
Two New York Yankees fans pried a baseball out of Mookie Betts‘ glove Tuesday night, resulting in an ejection from the game and a ban from Wednesday night’s contest.
The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder caught the ball while leaping against the wall and toward the fans, but one fan tried to rip Betts‘ glove off of his hand and took the ball out while another fan held Betts‘ wrist.
The fans have been widely criticized for their actions, although there has been some praise, including photos and autographs, by a loud minority.
