MLB 2024

Welcome to New York. One Yankee fan holding Mookie's throwing arm and the other trying to steel the ball out of Mookie's mitt. Mookie could have been injured. These thugs should have been arrested. Just sayin.

. . . and already interviewed by ESPN at a nearby bar after being thrown out and saying Yankees security told them they were welcome to come back tonight! That's just nuts.

Way back in the day, when Reggie was with the Angels, we were at Angel Stadium when the Yankees came in. We were in the cheap seats. There were a couple of Yankees fans who tried to set the hair of an Angels fan sitting in front of them on fire. They were ushered out. Not sure if they ended up being arrested.
 
Not according to ESPN.

Yes, well things change. I was relaying the reporting of what they told ESPN last night. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that while the WS is 3-1 Dodgers right now at some point later it won't be what with Time moving forward and all that stuff.

15 minutes of fame. Jerks. To hell with them.
Beyond the fan interference, which happens much too often these days IMO, but which in many cases I can *maybe* attribute to excitement, adrenaline or whatever these guys actually bragged about *planning* for this. Compounding it is they grabbed and twisted Betts arms while he was pretty compromised and risked seriously injuring him. Reaching into the playing area and mucking with the ball is one thing but mugging a player is quite another as far as I'm concerned.

It is assault and battery. He could file a police report and a civil lawsuit. But it’s Mookie. He won’t. I love the guy. We are so fortunate to have him as a Dodger.
