Yankee Stadium fans ejected after one pries ball from Mookie Betts’ glove at World Series
SUMMARY
In a chaotic first inning of Game 4 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, two fans were ejected after interfering with Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts. When Betts leaped into foul territory to catch Gleyber Torres' pop-up, a fan in a Yankees road jersey grabbed Betts' glove with both hands, prying the ball loose, while another fan pulled Betts' other hand. Umpires immediately ruled Torres out due to fan interference, and Betts reacted visibly frustrated. This marks the second time Torres has encountered fan interference in this series; in Game 1, a fan reached over to catch his fly ball in the ninth inning, which awarded Torres a double. The Dodgers initially surged ahead with a 2-0 lead after Freddie Freeman's two-run homer, but New York rallied, led by a grand slam from Anthony Volpe, ultimately winning 11-4. The Dodgers lead the series 3-1 and aim to clinch the title in Game 5, with Jack Flaherty facing Yankees ace Gerrit Cole.
