RESTORING THE GLORY

“Austin was a friend from college (Arizona),” Gronkowski wrote Wednesday. “Very passionate about the teams he represents. Will do anything for them. A dangerous, wild boy too, he is the person who would undoubtedly say he would do that and then actually do it. Maniac status since college confirmed.”

The incident occurred in the bottom of the first inning at Yankee Stadium. With the Yankees trailing 2-0, second baseman Gleyber Torres hit a fly ball into foul territory in right field. Betts tracked the ball, reached for it and completed the clean sheet.

To his surprise, two fans grabbed his glove and wrestled Betts for the foul ball, who was given an out. But one fan, Capobianco, grabbed Betts’ wrist while the other, John Peter, grabbed the ball, which shot out of Betts’ glove.

Betts still got the zero, while the two fans were immediately escorted from Yankee Stadium and subsequently banned from Wednesday’s Game 5. Their four season tickets for Wednesday’s Game 5 were confiscated by the Yankees (for a full refund) and donated to a children’s cancer center in Bergenfield. patient, the two brothers and the boys’ mother.

“(Capobianco) was on the ice hockey team, the club’s Arizona Wildcats team,” Gronkowski said on the show. “Let me tell you, the entire hockey team were absolute maniacs.”

Gronkowski also added: “He’s all in for the Yankees. I remember him talking about the Yankees all the time, how he loves him so much, and that describes him perfectly, he just did whatever it took to help his team. He is a beauty.”
