Yankees Fans Prohibited from Game 5 Following Unacceptable Mookie Betts Incident


The two spectators from New York Yankees, who were ejected from Game 4 on Tuesday night for interrupting Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts, will not return for Game 5 tonight.

 

Despite claiming to ESPN that he would be back, season-ticket holder Austin Capobianco along with his friend John Peter will not be granted entry to the stadium for Game 5 on Wednesday, as announced by the Yankees.

“The Yankees and Major League Baseball have a strict no-tolerance policy for the type of conduct displayed last night,” the Yankees stated. “These fans are forbidden from attending tonight’s game in any capacity.”

The Yankees described the fans’ actions as “egregious and unacceptable.”

After the incident, Capobianco admitted to ESPN that he knew his behavior was inappropriate but did not express any regret. “I guard that wall, and they know that,” he commented.

 

The peculiar incident occurred during the bottom of the first inning on a foul fly ball hit by Yankees leadoff batter Gleyber Torres.

 

Capobianco mentioned that he and Peter had often talked about how to handle situations like this.

“We’re not looking to interfere; if the ball comes into our area, we’ll defend it,” he said. “One person defends, one person tries to catch it. We strategize about it. We’re prepared to do this.”

 

According to MLB interference rules, fans can attempt to catch balls in their seating area, but umpires can call a player out if a fan intentionally obstructs a fielder. Betts successfully caught the ball, but it was knocked out of his glove, leading to Torres being ruled out.

“The safety and well-being of players, fans, and Stadium personnel is the cornerstone of every event at Yankee Stadium, and it cannot be jeopardized,” the Yankees asserted.

“Tonight is the last home game of the season, and we want to showcase the passion of our fans. Yankee Stadium is celebrated for its energy and enthusiasm, yet supporting your team should never cross the line into jeopardizing players’ safety.”

MLBPA executive director Tony Clark remarked: “We have been in ongoing communication with league security officials since last night’s incident and will closely monitor the responses and protective measures taken moving forward.”
