During Game 4 of the World Series, two Yankees fans found themselves ejected from Yankee Stadium following a controversial play. The incident involved Dodgers star Mookie Betts, a Yankees fan, and a heated World Series atmosphere. The event became viral on social media and resulted in a Game 5 ban for the fans.
What happened between the Yankees fan and Mookie Betts?
The incident occurred in the first inning of Game 4 when Mookie Betts attempted a catch near the stands. As he leaped for the ball, Yankees fan Austin Capobianco and his friend John Peter reached over and grabbed at Betts’ glove, prying the ball free.
The interference led to an automatic out for the Yankees batter, Gleyber Torres. The incident sparked conversations about fan behavior and the limits of fan involvement in live games.
Why were the fans banned from Game 5?
Following the incident, the Yankees organization quickly announced that both Capobianco, a season-ticket holder and Peter would not be allowed to attend Game 5. They emphasized that while they support passionate fan engagement, intentional interference crosses a line, especially during a high-stakes game.
Additionally, the two fans received a refund for their Game 5 tickets but were warned against trying to attend, as they could face arrest if they attempted to enter the stadium.
Social media response: An iconic World Series moment
Within minutes of the incident, clips of Betts’ encounter with the fans spread across social media. Many fans shared their opinions on the right balance of fan involvement. Some supported the ban as fair, while others argued it was too strict.
The incident has sparked a larger conversation about game-day manners among fans, especially in critical postseason games. Many are questioning what acceptable boundaries are for fans sitting near the field and how much involvement is appropriate.

Let’s clarify a few things first. Stoudtburg Village isn’t a town itself but a residential and commercial area of German architecture, shops and restaurants. It’s actually located within Adamstown in Lancaster County.
The charming village dates back to 1996, when Edward and Carol Stoudt dreamed of recreating a modern version of Edward’s hometown of Rothenburg, Germany.
