Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts said all the right things after one of the more bizarre incidents in World Series history took place at Yankee Stadium in Game 4. And he didn’t actually say all that much after some overzealous fans manhandled him. equal parts comedic and disturbing fashion.

“When it comes to the person and the game, it doesn’t matter,” Betts told reporters after the Dodgers lost Game 4. “We lost. It’s not relevant. I’m fine, he’s fine. Everything is cool. We lost the game, that’s what I’m kind of focused on. We have to turn the page and get ready for tomorrow .”

After helping Los Angeles make history by becoming the first team to recover from a five-run deficit and capture the World Series crown, Betts was asked about the incident by FOX’s David Ortiz and was finally able to speak freely.

“That was wild, man,” Betts said. ‘That was really wild. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I told my wife that it was the second time in my life that I ever wanted to fight someone. I get it, dude. I get it. “I don’t know if he was trying to get the ball, I don’t know what he was really trying to do, but he had to do what he had to do and that’s what it is.”

Winning is the best because no one can say anything about it and you can finally say how you really feel. Betts, who wants to respond at this point, emphasizes how ridiculous the situation was. These two fans were (and still are) treated like fun new celebrities, while Betts would have changed his career forever if he had taken them back. And that’s why it was so ridiculous that it took so long for adults in the room to come out and say they wouldn’t be welcome for Game 5 anymore.

All’s well that ends well, if only for the best. Betts is a champ and the interferences are allowed to appear on podcasts. A win-win for everyone involved, except the Yankees.
