Dodgers and Yankees face off in a dramatic World Series game, featuring an unusual incident involving fans.
Dodgers player Mookie Betts was grabbed by Yankees fans during the game, leading to a significant controversy.
The fans involved in the incident have been banned from attending the next game as a disciplinary measure.
Former Dodgers player Alex Verdugo, now with the Yankees, commented that he did not view the fans’ actions as serious, attributing it to New York’s passionate fan culture.
Verdugo expressed disappointment over the decision to ban the fans, suggesting it was an overreaction to typical fan behavior.
He acknowledged that while the fans’ actions were more extreme than usual, they reflect the fervent spirit of New York baseball fans.
Verdugo emphasized that the MLB’s decision to impose a ban was likely intended to set an example, but he believes such fan enthusiasm should not be severely punished.
