The two New York Yankees fans who interfered with Mookie Betts’ attempt to make a catch in Game 4 of the World Series have been banned from Wednesday’s Game 5.

Yankees fans Austin Capobianco and John Peter were ejected from Game 4 after the Betts incident in the first inning when the Los Angeles Dodgers star made a grab along the right field wall in foul territory. Although Capobianco and Peter were ejected, Yankees season ticket holders told ESPN they were told they could attend Game 5.

However, MLB reportedly asked the Yankees to ban Capobianco and Peter from attending Game 5. Capobianco told ESPN that the Yankees warned him that he and his friend would be arrested if they tried to attend Wednesday night’s game. It is unclear whether the ban will last beyond Wednesday, ESPN reported.

The Yankees released a statement Wednesday describing the incident as “egregious and unacceptable physical contact” with Betts.

“The safety and security of players, fans and stadium personnel is the fundamental element of any event held at Yankee Stadium, and it should not be compromised,” the statement continued. “Tonight is the last home game of the year and we want every ounce of our fans’ passion to be on display. Yankee Stadium is known for its energy and intensity, but the exuberance of supporting your team can never cross the line by players deliberately put in the wrong place.” physical risk.”

Yankees fan pulls ball from Mookie Betts’ glove in World Series Game 4

Capobianco and Peter tried to snatch the ball from Betts’ glove after he grabbed Gleyber Torres’ catch. Capobianco pulled on Betts’ glove as Peter grabbed Betts’ right wrist. Torres was immediately ejected due to fan interference.

Betts was noticeably angry with the fans after the match. However, he brushed the incident aside when asked about it after the Dodgers’ 11-4 loss.

“When it comes to the person in the game, it doesn’t matter,” Betts said after the Yankees extended the series with an 11-4 win. “We lost. It doesn’t matter. I’m fine. He’s fine. Everything’s fine. We lost the game and I’m kind of focused on that. We have to turn the page and get ready for tomorrow.”

The Dodgers will get another chance to capture a World Series title on Wednesday night as they lead 3-1 in the series. Even if the Yankees win Game 5, Wednesday’s game will be the last scheduled game at Yankee Stadium for the series. Games 6 and 7 will take place in Los Angeles if necessary.
