NEW YORK – No matter how expensive World Series tickets are, it does not afford fans the right to interfere with the field of play.
Nor pry the ball from Mookie Betts.
A pair of New York Yankees fans were ejected after one was called for fan interference on a foul pop fly down the right field line off the bat of New York Yankees leadoff batter Gleyber Torres in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night.
Right field umpire Mark Carlson immediately signaled fan interference. But that wasn’t the end of it.
A fan seated next to the one called for interference tried prying the ball out of Betts’ glove, a sheepish grin on his face. The other fan seemed to complain that the ball was within the seating area, and thus fair game.
Neither got a baseball nor won the argument. They were escorted from their seats quickly by stadium security and a Major League Baseball spokesperson confirmed the fans were ejected.
