NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball has banned two fans who interfered with [URL='https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/_/name/lad/los-angeles-dodgers']Los Angeles Dodgers[/URL] outfielder [URL='http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33039/mookie-betts']Mookie Betts[/URL] during a World Series game at Yankee Stadium from attending games at big league ballparks.

The league sent a letter to Austin Capobianco and John P. Hansen this week informing them of the decision.

"On Oct. 29, 2024, during Game 4 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, you interfered with play by intentionally and forcefully grabbing a player. Your conduct posed a serious risk to the health and safety of the player and went far over the line of acceptable fan behavior," said the letter, the contents of which were first reported by the [URL='https://nypost.com/2025/01/10/sports/yankees-fans-banned-from-all-mlb-stadiums-indefinitely-for-mauling-mookie-betts/?utm_campaign=nypost_sports&sr_share=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter']New York Post[/URL] and later obtained by The Associated Press.

Looks like those fans took "home field advantage" a little too literally! Interfering with play is definitely a foul ball, and they won't be catching any more games from the stands. It’s a real curveball that they got banned for acting like they were part of the team! Staying safe at the ballpark should always be a home run for everyone involved, even the players. At least Mookie Betts can take solace in knowing that he's worth protecting—like gold, just like he plays! ⚾️
