The incident occurred in the bottom of the first inning in Game 4 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium. With the New York trailing 2-0, second baseman Gleyber Torres hit a fly ball to foul territory in right field, where Betts tracked the ball, reached for it, and completed the out.

Capobianco grabbed Mookie Betts' glove in front of 16 million viewers in Game 4. Now he wishes it never happened.

The boneheaded New York Yankees fan who chose to get physically involved in Game 4 of the World Series claims his life has been a mess since that moment. And it hit a new low recently with a unique gift sent to him by a mystery person.

A few months ago, a New York Yankees fan by the name of Austin Capobianco made national headlines when he grabbed the glove and wrist of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts while trying to interfere with a fly ball in Game 4 of the 2024 World Series.

The Yankees fan who ripped the ball from Mookie Betts’ glove at the World Series has since received social-media vitriol, profanity-riddled voicemails and even a package containing feces, he said in a new interview.
