New York Yankee fan ejected for prying ball out of LA Dodger Mookie Betts's glove
A fan at Yankee Stadium was ejected from Game 4 of the World Series after prying a foul ball out of the glove of Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts.
Betts leaped at the wall in foul territory and initially caught Gleyber Torres’ pop-up in the first inning on Monday night (Tuesday AEDT), but a fan in the first row with a grey Yankees road jersey grabbed Betts’ glove with both hands and pulled the ball out.
Torres was immediately called out on fan interference.

With two outs in the ninth inning of Game 1 at Dodger Stadium, Torres hit a fly ball to left field, and a fan reached over and caught the ball. Torres was awarded a double.
The Dodgers, who are one win away from their second title in five years, held a 2-0 lead on Freddie Freeman’s two-run homer in the top of the first off Luis Gil.
