Yankees fans banned from Game 5 after 'egregious' Mookie Betts incident
The two who were ejected from Game 4 on Tuesday night for interfering with Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts won't be back in their seats down the right field line for tonight's game.
Despite his initial claim made to ESPN, season-ticket holder Austin Capobianco and his friend John Peter will not be allowed back in the ballpark for Game 5 on Wednesday, the Yankees announced.
"The Yankees and Major League Baseball maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward the type of behavior displayed last night," the Yankees said in a statement. "These fans will not be permitted to attend tonight鈥檚 game in any capacity.鈥
The Yankees said the fans' conduct was "egregious and unacceptable."
Capobianco told ESPN after the game he knew he had done something wrong, but seemed to indicate he had no remorse. "I patrol that wall and they know that," he said.
