Meet Austin Capobianco (middle), the fan that interfered with Mookie. I was talking to him at a local bar when a bunch of other fans asked him to take a pic with him and for his autograph. He was a beaut. Story up soon at ESPN: “If it’s in our area, we’re going to ‘D’ up.”

Good to hear. That is the just outcome. Not only was it poor sportsmanship, Betts could have been hurt.


Twitter is full of posted clips of the incident. The main offender looks like a troll. Reminds me of Afraud Rodriguez's glove-slapping stunt in the '04 ALCS. 

I don't know if anyone here has posted about @ArtButMakeItSports on X but it's consistently great:

A similar (not as physical) incident happened to Betts five or six years ago in Houston when he was with Boston - a fan hit his glove as he was trying to close it, and the ball popped out.

Yankees fans who interfered with Mookie Betts banned from World Series Game 5

...Capobianco told (ESPN's Jesse) Rogers that the Yankees, who refunded him the cost of the tickets for Game 5, also informed him that he would be arrested if he tried to attend the game.<

I heard a really interesting story about the second-hand market for tickets now, and the series getting another game.

Iif you buy a ticket online through a resale site (Stubhub, etc.) and the game doesn't happen, you get your money back and the "tickets" return to the seller.  There were seats for tonight's game that were going for $5k+.  Some folks pay for their season tickets in NY by selling the playoffs.  I had a friend who paid for the Rangers season by selling the playoffs.  There were a LOT of people in NY that were praying for another game... to "finish" the sale of their tickets and recover the money they might have lost if the Yankees didn't force a game 5.

Crazy world.


I've known people who have done that - essentially paid for their season tickets by selling post-season tickets.  Most people I know who bought season tickets bought them as a group of four or five, so they may not have resold all of the tickets - depending on the team or which stage of the series.

Indeed. They should both be banned for life from all MLB parks.

Red Sox fans... Phillies fans... Blue Jays fans... Oriole's fans... Mets fans... and about 25 more groups.  Might be more efficient to ask who didn't know.
