MLB Interference: 5 Notable Cases
Published: Nov. 1, 2024
Two New York Yankees fans were ejected from Game 4 of the World Series and banned from Game 5 after one tried to yank the ball out of the glove — and the glove off the hand — of a Los Angeles Dodgers player. The startling moment happened toward the bottom of the first inning on Tuesday night, as the Dodgers were on the field with a two-run lead. Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts leaped at the corner wall to try to catch a pop-up foul, stretching his arm into the stands. Two Yankees fans in the first row seized him: One grabbed Betts’ glove and tried to rip the ball out; the other gripped his ungloved wrist as Betts tried to fight back. "Well, A for effort."Fan interference was called on this play where a Yankee fan tried to take the ball out of Mookie Betts' glove after an out.
