First inning Freddie Freeman homers can make aggrieved Yankees fans do crazy things, but one front-row rooter took things 10 steps too far in World Series Game 4 on Tuesday night.
Yankees starter Luis Gil gave up the second momentum-silencing, two-run Freeman bomb in as many days, but escaped the first frame without allowing any additional runs. 2-0 was a death sentence in Game 3 — and felt like one on Tuesday, too — but, hey, you’ve gotta have hope. Either that, or you’ve gotta take things in your own hands.
Survey says … don’t do that second thing.
One Yankees fan likely paid upwards of $2,000 for front row seats down the right field line for Game 4 and saw … well, a fantastic view of the Freeman homer, and that’s pretty much it.
Leadoff hitter Gleyber Torres lifted a pop fly down the line, but before the ball reached the seats, it was snagged by athletic MVP right fielder Mookie Betts. But Betts’ glove hand had crossed over into crowd territory, and one fan took that as a license to mess around.
No, he didn’t just try to Glove Slap the man like 2004 A-Rod. Instead, he grabbed hold of Betts’ glove, pulled, and twisted, popping the baseball loose. What … are we doing here?

After the play, the fans tried to argue with security, drawing an invisible line across the wall and apparently trying to indicate that Betts had come into their turf. The crowd doesn’t have to give opposing players a clear path to make catches, but they certainly aren’t allowed to grip their glove hands and incite wrist injuries.
The FOX broadcast cut away from these fans relatively quickly, but not as quickly as they could’ve; while we didn’t see anyone get led away by security, they still got the momentary streaker-level fame they sought.
Unfortunately for them, it looks like Betts stomped all over their turf in more ways than one, along with the rest of his Dodgers teammates. They might’ve been looking for hostility after hitting the road, but this moment was truly the first time they found any — from the fans or the players.
