Yankees fans who mauled Mookie Betts at World Series face serious consequences.
The two New York Yankees fans who grabbed Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts' wrist and tried to rip the ball out of his hand during Game 4 of the World Series have been banned «indefinitely» from attending any MLB games.
For those of you who haven't already seen it, here is the boneheaded move that got these two meatheads banned from all 30 stadiums.
The fans, Austin Capobianco and John P. Hansen, were ejected from the game and banned from Game 5 in The Bronx, which proved to be the final game of the season.
Both were using the seats of a season-ticket holder, who has owned the tickets since 1990 and was not in attendance and will therefore be allowed to keep them.
In a letter from an MLB official obtained by the New York Post, the league wrote to the banned fans in part:
The letter also stated that if they are discovered at any MLB property or event, they will be removed from the premises and subject to arrest for trespass.
Mookie Betts was asked last month about the incident and said his response to the pair of fans would be:
Betts also added that at the time:
The season-ticket holder was said to support the decision to prohibit the two fans from attending any more games.
MLB has previously issued league-wide bans for fans who trespass on the field or threaten baseball personnel.
A fan who approached Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acu�a Jr. at Colorado's Coors Field in 2023 received a similar ban.
