New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres led off the bottom of the first inning of Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night by sending a foul ball down the right field line.
It sent Mookie Betts over to the wall where he attempted to make a leaping catch. He did. But two Yankees fans in the front row were not going to let him get away with it without a fight, as they attempted to wrestle the ball out of his glove and take his glove off his hand.
Have a look.
First thing’s first: If you are a fan, you absolutely can’t interfere with a player to that degree. Especially since the ball was still in the field of play and not over the wall and into the stands.
Second, a front-row ticket to a World Series game at Yankee Stadium almost certainly costs over $1,000 at a bare minimum. These two guys spent that much cash and did not even get to see a full inning before being escorted out for trying to steal a souvenir that should not have been theirs.
