Dodgers' Mookie Betts shares message to Yankees fans who tried to pry ball out of his glove in World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts revealed what he really wanted to say to the Yankees fans who were trying to pry the ball out of his glove during Game 4 of the World Series.

"I would really say, ‘F--- you guys,’" Betts said after host Kevin Hart asked him what his message was to those fans during Peacock’s "Back That Year Up 2024" special. 

"Try and get the ball, cool. But, like, you’re trying to grab my s---," Betts continued.

"I was in the moment, so I thought about throwing the ball up, and then I realized, ‘Mook, you ain’t gonna do s---. You ain’t gonna do s---, go back to right field!'"

During the first inning of the Yankees' 11-4 Game 4 win, Gleyber Torres hit a foul ball down the right field line. The ball tailed into the stands and Betts made a fantastic catch along the wall. 

However, as Betts was coming off the wall, two fans tried to pry the ball out of Betts’ glove and rip the glove off his hand.

The umpire immediately called fan interference and ruled Torres out, while security rushed over to the area. 

The fans were identified as Austin Capobianco and John Peter. The two fans were season ticket holders, and they had been preparing for a moment like what had happened with Betts.

"We always joke about the ball in our area," Capobianco told ESPN. "We’re not going to go out of our way to attack. If it’s in our area, we’re going to ‘D’ up."

"I know when I’m in the wrong and as soon as I did it, I was like, ‘Boys, I’m out of here,’ I patrol that wall, and they know that."

The fans were banned from attending Game 5 of the World Series because of the incident. 

The Dodgers won the World Series 4-1.

Caleb Williams says Bears fans' frustrations predate his tenure after latest loss: 'It's my first year'

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams isn’t prepared to take full responsibility for the enduring frustrations of the fans. 

During the Bears’ 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, fans at Soldier Field broke out into boos and "Sell that team" chants. The low-scoring loss marked the team’s 10th straight loss.

When asked about the fans' reaction after the game, Williams pointed out to reporters that their frustrations go beyond his time in Chicago.

"It’s my first year. Their frustrations go way longer back than I’ve been here," Williams, who was the first overall pick in last year’s draft, said.

"My job is to go out there and win games. We don’t focus on the outside noise. The fans, they’re gonna cheer and maybe boo sometimes, and you can’t react to that. It’s not something that we react to." 

The Bears' offense struggled in their latest loss.

Williams was 16 for 28 with 122 yards, and the Bears finished with just 179 total offensive yards. For that, the rookie quarterback did take ownership. 

"I didn’t play well enough. I didn’t help put the team in a good position to win – a better position to win, and it’s what it is."

The Bears will close out the season on the road against the Green Bay Packers next week.
