Perhaps the most controversial moment of the 2024 World Series between the\u00a0New York Yankees<\/a>\u00a0and Los Angeles Dodgers occurred in Game 4, when Dodgers superstar right fielder Mookie Betts was interfered with by two fans when trying to make a catch.<\/p>\n

Former Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres popped a ball down the right-field line in the first inning of that October 29 contest. Betts tracked the ball down and made a nice jumping catch in foul territory. However, as soon as he did so, a Yankees fan (who\u00a0ESPN reported<\/a>\u00a0was named Austin Capobianco) pried the ball out of his glove. As the ball fell out of Betts’ glove, Capobianco’s friend John Peter grabbed the Dodgers star’s glove hand.<\/p>\n
