During Game 4 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, with the Yankees trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 in the series and facing a potential sweep, a Yankees fan attempted to take the ball from Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts' glove after he made a catch near the right-field line in the bottom of the first inning. The incident occurred when Betts leaped to catch a fly ball hit by Gleyber Torres. The fan interfered by grabbing Betts' glove and trying to remove the ball, leading the umpire to rule Torres out due to fan interference. Security personnel escorted the fan from the stadium following the incident. Betts was not injured during the altercation.
