What brother of combative Yankees fan saw on wild interference play: Not good

Mookie Betts didn’t hesitate to let two Yankees fans know they’d messed up.A pair of determined Bronx Bombers supporters along the right-field wall aggressively attempted to wrestle Gleyber Torres’ foul ball out of Betts’ glove in the first inning of Tuesday’s World Series Game 4 in a shameful scene that saw the spectators quickly removed from Yankee Stadium.“I just see the ball kind of — I don’t want to say (go) up for grabs, if that makes sense,” Darren Capobianco told The Athletic of his brother Austin’s interference on the play.“And then Mookie was swearing at us.
