Unruly Fan Disrupts World Series at Yankee Stadium
A Fan Prying Foul Ball Out of Mookie Betts’ Glove Leads to Ejection
NEW YORK (AP) — A fan at Yankee Stadium was ejected from Game 4 of the World Series after a controversial incident involving Mookie Betts, right fielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and a prying fan in the stands.
The Incident at Yankee Stadium
In the very first inning of Game 4 on Tuesday night, Mookie Betts snatched up Gleyber Torres’ long fly ball in the air with a quick glove action. However, a supporter in the first row recursovered the ball from Betts’ hand with both of his hands, causing Betts to leap at the wall again in the foul territory.
Here’s what happened:
- Mookie Betts caught Gleyber Torres’ pop-up in the first inning.
- A fan wearing a gray Yankees’ road jersey tugged at Betts’ glove.
- The unexpected incident pulled a foul ball from the glove of the Dodgers’ outfielder.
Torres enters the history books
It was not the first time Torres’ at-bat had been influenced by close calls. He dealt with fan interference during Game 1 of the World Series, but with two outs in the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium, another unexpected turn of events impacted his performance.
