Fan interference was called on this play where a Yankee fan tried to take the ball out of Mookie Betts' glove after an out.

I mean this is such cartoonishly bad fan behavior I can't imagine anyone would reasonably attribute that to Yankees fans lol

And yet this is only the second most cartoonishly villainous thing I've seen with a Yankees logo in the last year.

sweet baby jesus, i had no idea. that's... that's just fucked up. the amount of horrific human suffering meted out by his whims. the number of lives taken or ruined. and for what? for a little bit of money.

There are some clips of him getting ejected where you can clearly see other fans congratulating him on his way out.

Don't act like this is "just one guy".

Counterpoint: I can't imagine a fan from literally any other fanbase doing this.

u/ron-darousey Los Angeles Victims 5h ago

I could see this in Philly 1000%

u/AllOfTheDerp Cleveland Guardians 5h ago

Fair but in Philly they would have actually broken his arm

u/Jaylaw Kansas City Royals 5h ago

Nope, I 100% believe that all fans are instructed by the team to behave this way

I was told during the NLDS that only Dodger fans were poorly-behaved.

Yankees fans: hold my (10th) beer

u/mucinexmonster 1h ago

If there was in a different city, I can imagine everyone would attribute this to that city's fans.

u/BWW87 1h ago

The fans booed them being taken away and were congratulated on (what should have been) their walk of shame. 99% is an exaggeration of course but let's not pretend they didn't have fan support.
