Two individuals from New York were removed from Yankee Stadium during Game 4 of the World Series due to their interference with the game, and now they will not be allowed to attend Game 5, which is scheduled for Wednesday night.

The announcement came via a statement from both the league and the Yankees, specifically addressing the involvement of the fans in an incident with Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts, where a ball was forcibly removed from his glove.

The statement highlighted that the fans were ejected from the stadium for “egregious and unacceptable physical contact” with Betts. It emphasized the importance of safety for players, fans, and stadium personnel, which is crucial for all events held at Yankee Stadium.

“While Yankee Stadium is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and enthusiasm, the passion of the fans should never cross into actions that pose a danger to players,” officials stated in regard to the incident.

The organization is taking these measures to ensure that future games can be enjoyed safely by all attendees and participants, underscoring their commitment to maintaining a secure environment.
