Overview

• The play occurred on August 29 during the Mets’ 19–9 win over the Marlins, on a Xavier Edwards foul off reliever Jose Castillo in the seventh inning.
• Video shows an older fan initially securing the ball before a younger fan lunged, pulled it away, and returned to his seat appearing to gloat.
• SNY’s Keith Hernandez criticized the scuffle on air, and Gary Cohen urged giving the souvenir to a child, noting it was taken from “an old guy.”
• Neither spectator has been publicly identified or commented, and outlets report no team or league disciplinary action tied to the clip.
• Coverage draws parallels to US Open fan misbehavior in Flushing, including Piotr Szczerek’s hat grab from a child, for which he later issued a public apology.
