Yankees Fans Banned Indefinitely for Interfering with Mookie Betts During World Series

MLB issued lifetime bans to two fans who grabbed Betts and disrupted play during Game 4 at Yankee Stadium, citing safety concerns.

Austin Capobianco and John P. Hansen interfered with Mookie Betts' catch by grabbing his glove and wrist during Game 4 of the 2024 World Series.
The league's letter to the fans stated their actions posed a serious risk to Betts' health and crossed the line of acceptable fan behavior.
Both fans were ejected from the game and barred from attending Game 5, where the Dodgers secured the championship.
The ban prohibits the two from entering any MLB stadiums, offices, or events indefinitely, with violations subject to removal and arrest for trespassing.
The season ticket holder who provided the seats was not penalized and will retain their ticket privileges.
