these two fans interfering with that ball might be the funniest and best things iv'e seen in quite a long time. i found it hilarious and terrific. not a yanks fan, not a dodgers fan, kind of dislike both but man it was great. These two are legends..
i have to shake my head to see how the media and social media are soo upset and offended by these two, i just dont get it. you'd think they rushed the field and killed someone on the field with some of these reactions. people truly take this crap WAY too serious. same types of people that called and harrassed that Bartman dude in chicago and called him with death threats, just pathetic excuses of human beings...
hope these two get some kind of deal for commercials and go down as yankee legends.

How the f can anyone consider this guy anything other than a fat piece of crap
You have really bad taste. The person you should be looking up to is the kid sitting in those seats tonight who is courageously battling cancer.
I thought the rule was if the ball is over the fence then the fans have a right to the ball and can essentially fight the player for it? They CANT reach in front of the fence to interfere like Jeffrey Mayer. Steve Bartman, what he did was a legal play but as a Cubs fan, the thought was he should have backed away to let the Cubs player catch it.
wow, is this over dramatic for crying out loud..
did i say i look up to these people? i think it's funny and laugh at media for making it a big deal.
You sound like a hallmark movie..
They could have dragged those buffoons on to the field and beat the brakes off of them as far as I’m concerned.
I envision TheSpecialSauce applying sunscreen to go cut the grass on a 65 degree day. He then comes into the house to tell his wife, "Gee whiz, there sure were a lot of grass clippings" before showering, dressing in very short khaki shorts with tube socks, and applying more sunscreen to sit beneath the living room light. His wife hands him a glass of lemonade - not too sugary - with exactly three ice cubes and then he becomes entranced in some movie on TV like Miracle on Ice, We Are Marshall, or The Natural. His wife asks if he would like some pretzels, but he kindly tells her the exact amount of milligrams of sodium he has already consumed that day and asks for baby carrots, instead. Feeling emotionally affected by the movie he just watched, he logs onto Pantherlair to post "H2P!," as if this is a virtual cheerleading guild and not a message board where people are actually allowed to criticize the team. By then it's 7:30, so he brushes his teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and flosses before returning downstairs to sit in his La-Z-Boy chair. He puts his sleeping mask (surprise, surprise - it has the Panther head logo on it) and headphones on and pops his "Sounds of Nature: A Caribou Bathes in a Peaceful Stream" cassette in the Walkman. "Ah, what a day," he thinks to himself.
yes, rule 43.55. sub paragraph II line 3 reads "a fan has the right, as long as not in the field of play, to remove a caught ball from a player's glove while restricting his arm movement and potentially causing injury to said player"
you know, i think mlb are hypocrites on fan interference.
OK, lets forget about this situation here, these two dudes are lunatics. But im talking about your normal foul ball or home run ball that is a "50-50" ball between player and fan. First off, every fan is going to go for the ball, it's human nature. Not to the extent of these two yanks fans but im talking normal, stand up, reach out and try to catch ball.
So baseball parks put these seats basically right next to the playing field, give fans access to reach balls but they expect fans to box out like they are Jerome Lane and let the baseball player make the catch or they get thrown out of the stadium? Stupid rule. If you reallyh dont want fans to have any access to foul balls or home run balls, dont put the seats within arm's length of the field..
The Bartman situation still to this day pisses me off. There were about 10 other fans trying to catch it. and give me a break on moises alou making that catch, that dude couldnt catch routine fly balls all year and yet cubs and fans went nuts on him for doing what 95% of us would have done, and even chicago papers doxxing him (before doxxing was a thing) by publishing his name and even employer and home address.
F chicago, whole city and population is garbage..
A point was made on the DVE morning show today -- Yankees fans do it and it makes them legends and part of the team's mystique ... had a Philly fan done it, they would have been blacklisted from ever attending another baseball game and the National Guard would be brought in for the next game.
didnt philly fans throw batteries at Santa while everyone else cheered? I feel like if this happened in philly, they'd have pulled mookie into the stands and raped him.

I saw that and thought it was kind of funny. There are way too many media folks who are overly concerned with some sacred unwritten BS that none of them really understand. "Sanctity of the game!" Same guys that sit down on a cold Saturday in January and cry at the end of Field of Dreams even though they've seen it a hundred times.
I think it's definitely that for a lot of the older types. For the younger media types, it's the fact that we live in the age of outrage where everything is the WORST THING EVER and no assortment of adjectives could possibly be too strong. This was disgusting. It was despicable! It was.... HEINOUS!!!!!!!!
Ban them for life. Hell, don't even let them shop in the same supermarkets as us non glove-prying folks.
agree, it's hilarious and such a yankee thing and in 3 years, no one is going to remember this series but these two will go down in infamy.
but field of dreams, "hey dad, do you want to have a catch?" lord almighty, im in tears every damn time.
I was in Vegas with some buddies the Feb after the Bartman debacle, rolling dice at Bellagio. A random dude at the table was wearing a Cubs hat. Every time the dice made their way into this guy’s hands, one of my buddies would be giving it to him: c'mon Bartman, boxcars! Yeah Bartman! Meanwhile Bartman was losing his ass. After a while half the guys at the table were calling him, Bartman. Finally the dude got all huffy, told everyone to F off, and left the table in a tizzy. "Where you going Bartman?": Made my whole weekend.
Difference being in Philly Betts ends up with a shoulder dislocation followed by several "your mother is a....." statements with an 82% chance of spittle being involved..

In the end, these guys need to fill blogs and online articles. Anything they can BS about for five-hundred words is golden to them. Guys ripping balls out of gloves. What the coach said. What he didn't say. Does the QB's hand smell that way because he wipes with it or does the center not keep his grundle clean enough. Five-hundred words is a paycheck.
no idea but I'm pretty sure it does not allow intentional physical contact of a player to the point of removing a ball from a glove while your buddy holds his other arm....kind of an absurd assumption on your part that some rule exists to cover the fan's actions...but that is a 3 on that 142 yard number five on your course..
