What color is that mugger's hat when he's not at a game?

One fan bent his wrist and glove back trying to get the ball out and the other pulled Mookie up by the other wrist. I wonder if they were ejected as they could have injured him.

But they are both going to be there tonight for game 5. They are season ticket holders. They are Yankee fans- now legends. But they missed the next 8 innings and watching the Yankees actually win. Personally, I would ban them from the stadium. They could have hurt Betts.

Mookie got off easy. The idiots could've taken his glove, cap AND chain.

Infantile or entitled? Either way, they should have been arrested and banned for life.

Those guys need to be arrested and barred from any MLB stadium for the rest of their lives. They didn't make an innocent and impulsive play for the ball, they committed a crime.

Interesting that almost the same thing happened to Jurikson Profar at Doyer Stadium a few weeks ago - and who was the HR stolen from that day? Mookie Betts.

Hi everyone,

Inexcusable and reprehensible. Both should be arrested for assault, attempted theft _and_ battery _and_ banned from all minor league and major league games and stadiums for life. I wouldn’t even let them near a little league game. Friggin’ dunderfllucks.

Any idiot fan knows, you're supposed to "accidentally" douse the player with a drink and popcorn. This is crossing the line!

The odds of any criminal prosecution occurring are slim to none.

Now if Mook had dropped to the ground a la World Cup style, that might have got some traction.

Personally, I think a lifetime ban from the stadium, with immediate effect should have taken place.

Game 5 would be without them.

Oh, and stalking them and inflicting a serious beatdown.

Something to mitigate their bragging rights.

I have a feeling that the doxxing will be bad enough that they won't require any more punishment.

LOL judging by the reaction of the Yankee crowd when this happened, these guys are hometown heroes.

"Almost." That fan made a legitimate attempt to catch a ball that was 2 rows deep and didn't go after the ball after he missed and it ended up in the glove. Mookie's catch appeared to be at the top of the wall.

Yea, Dodgers fans can be a-holes sometimes (ok, more than sometimes)... Especially since Profar tried to give the fan a souvenir ball later on, which, IIRC, he threw back which started the trash throwing.

Hi everyone,

Forgot to add... Shame on _everyone_ downplaying their behavior. It's bad enough that fans have to deal with drunk, disorderly idjiots. Now, players have to deal with fans acting like thieving thugs? Nope. Inexcusable.

The MLB Players association got involved and they weren't allowed to return to Game 5. It is still undecided if they will get to keep their season tickets next year.

I'm somewhat heartened by this.

Wresting their season tickets like then wrested Mook's catch would be something to smile about.

Practically speaking, I doubt they'll get any more than that, if they get that much.

I might rethink the stalking and beatdown thing, but it would be a lifetime ban on the stadium and season ticket holding.

Visiting the sins of the fathers on the children might be a bit much.

I'll have a think on that.

RAM,

"Visiting the sins of the fathers on the children might be a bit much.

I'll have a think on that."

I actually thought about this. If these individuals act like this at a World Series game, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they act like dunderfllucks at Little League games. No doubt in my mind. Because of that, I'd want them banned. They should ashamed of the example they've set for children of all ages.

And their tickets were given to a kid with cancer. Too bad he had to watch his team lose.
