Two New York Yankees fans were banned from Wednesday night’s World Series game after they interfered with Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts during Game 4 at Yankee Stadium. The first fan tried to rip the ball out of Betts’ glove as he caught a popup, while the second fan grabbed Betts’ wrist. Both fans were immediately ejected from the game, and the Yankees issued a statement emphasizing that player safety is a top priority. The Yankees went on to win Game 4, but are behind in the series 3-1. The team stressed the importance of fan passion while maintaining a zero-tolerance policy for behavior that puts players at risk. The banned fans will not be allowed to attend Game 5. This incident highlights the need for fans to support their team without crossing the line and endangering players.
