The New York Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday evening and avoided a sweep in the World Series. But that story is overshadowed by an idiot Yankees fan who deserves to be banished from the sport.

In the first inning, Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts jumped to the wall in foul territory and caught a pop-up from Gleyber Torres. What should have been a routine foul play was derailed when idiot fan Austin Capobianco grabbed Betts’ glove and tried to pry the ball out.

Capobianco’s friend, John Peter, struggled with Betts’ ungloved hand to actually help his friend rip out that baseball.

Disclaimer. It didn’t work. The out was recorded. And the two idiots were promptly sent away.

Although his colleagues in New York probably consider him a hero this morning, when the Yankees won this game 11-4 to stay alive in the World Series, any normal person would have woken up and felt incredibly ashamed for making a wrong. making fun of themselves on national television.

You wake up and see that you are the top story on ESPN. Not because he has done anything heroic, but because he is causing major disruption at a national level.

ESPN actually caught up with the fans at a local bar after they were ejected from the game, and their reasoning for making a fool of themselves on national television is almost worse than the act that got them ejected from Yankee Stadium in the first place.

“We always joke about the ball in our area,” Capobianco said. “We’re not going to go out of our way to attack. If it’s in our area, we’ll go to a ‘D’. Someone defends, someone hits the ball. We talk about it. We’re willing to do that.” this.”

That’s good to hear. They will not go out of their way to plan premeditated ‘attacks’. But if an opponent comes into what they see as their area, the duo will play defense. News alert! You are not a professional athlete. Don’t sit on defense like the rest of the 46,535 fans at Yankee Stadium and stay off the field of play.

“I know when I’m wrong, and as soon as I did it, I thought, ‘Guys, I’m out of here,'” he said. “I’m patrolling that wall, and they know it.”

Well, congratulations, buddy. You patrolled all the way outside that wall and you missed New York’s best performance in the World Series.

The MLB should step in and cancel his season tickets.

If he was a contrite, drunk kid just running around the field or something, you can come back from that in life after spending an evening in the clink. But this man?

He could have injured Betts’ wrist and changed the outcome of the entire World Series. The audacity to brag about it afterwards to the world leader in the sport is also simply insane.

Get this man away from baseball. In fact, get this man away from all professional sports.
