Dodgers players and personnel told The Post that the Yankees should severely discipline their two fans who aggressively grabbed Mookie Betts’ glove and arm in Game 4, and a couple Dodgers suggested the duo should never see the inside of a ballpark again.
The Yankees removed the pair, identified as Austin Capobianco and John Peter, who tried to remove the ball hit by Gleyber Torres from Betts’ glove in the first inning. The team also took away their tickets for Game 5 and gave them to a pediatric cancer patient, his younger brothers and his mom, and is considering further action, a Yankees spokesman said.
“It should be an instant lifetime ban. They should never be allowed in any ballpark ever again,” Dodgers star Max Muncy told The Post. “If it’s an accidental thing where you’re trying to catch the ball and you bump a [player], that’s one thing. But in that scenario, you have two guys trying to grab Mookie’s glove and then his hand — that’s a lifetime ban.
“That’s borderline assault. You could file [charges] for that,” Muncy added.
