Yankees fans banned from World Series Game 5 after interfering with Dodgers' Mookie Betts

The New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 to keep the World Series alive. Entering Game 5 they have a chance to send the series back to Los Angeles for Games 6 and 7. Colin Cowherd discusses their chances of continuing the series.

Major League Baseball and the New York Yankees banned the two fans who interfered with Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts.

In the first inning of the Yankees' 11-4 win, Gleyber Torres hit a foul ball down the right field line. The ball tailed into the stands and Betts made a fantastic catch along the wall. 

However, as Betts was coming off the wall, two fans tried to pry the ball out of Betts’ glove and rip the glove off his hand.

The umpire immediately called fan interference and ruled Torres out, while security rushed over to the area. 

The fans were identified as Austin Capobianco and John Peter. The two fans are season ticket holders, and they had been preparing for a moment like Tuesday night.

"We always joke about the ball in our area," Capobianco told ESPN. "We’re not going to go out of our way to attack. If it’s in our area, we’re going to ‘D’ up."

"I know when I’m in the wrong and as soon as I did it, I was like, ‘Boys I’m out of here,’ I patrol that wall, and they know that."

The Yankees released a statement on Wednesday about the incident.
