Fans who grabbed Mookie Betts kicked out of Game 5 before it even started

R…MLB asked the Yankees to not let the two assholes who fucked with Mr. Betts’ routine steal of a home run attend Game 5 tonight, and the Yankees happily complied.

“These fans will not be allowed to attend Game 5 in any capacity.”

The Yankees refunded them the cost of a Game 5 ticket in the section they’re in. At least one of them is a season ticket holder.

Harsh? Maybe...but what they did was an assault.

Ban them for life. They could have injured the player, badly. The behavior was unacceptable.

I 100% agree with you. They should be banned, not just from the game tonight, but from any future games. Betts could have been very seriously injured by their actions. Was getting a ball really worth getting to see 1 1/3 innings when you paid for nine?

The ball was caught in foul territory just over the right field wall.

Video/photos are quite clear.
