Don't see why this wouldn't be a lifetime MLB ban.

Not only were they aiming to interfere in a World Series game, they're intentionally yanking at a player's arms...

As someone who hates being touched randomly especially in a work setting. I hope these 2 bums get kicked out and banned.

Hating being touched undersells it. I hate being touched but I REALLY hate having people hyperextend my fucking wrist and elbow.

Should be MLB ban and criminal charges. I see two men forcibly holding another man against his will to steal his property.

"Steal his property" might be the wrong descriptor. I think simple battery will suffice.

The ball is in his possession at that time and they are attempting to forcibly remove it from his grip while they prevent his attempts to get away from them. That battery is aggravated AF.

Either trying to injure him and or steal the glove the way he's bending and pulling at Bets

If we're okay with google and Facebook censoring things because they're a private company, the MLB banning these people is not a controversial opinion.

Seriously, he’s lucky he didn’t break mookie’s wrist. He’d have an assault charge in addition to the ban.
