In the fourth game of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees, which took place last year, an absurd situation occurred during the Dodgers' defense in the bottom of the first inning. Dodgers right fielder Betts ran near the right foul area after Yankees Gleyber Torres hit it. He jumped right in front of the stands fence at the top of the right foul zone and reached out his glove and caught it.
However, two men in Yankees jerseys in the front row began to touch Betts' glove. One man took the ball away and threw it back into the ground as if he had opened Betts' glove and grabbed it, while the other man suppressed Betts' struggling hands to defend the glove. Eventually, the ball went back into the ground.
However, the judges declared 'out' in accordance with the regulations, and the spectators were sent off.
Since then, they have received tremendous criticism through social media and news, and the pain is still continuing. One of the men, Austin Capobianco, was interviewed by 'The Athlete'.
Capobianco, a 38-year-old Connecticut resident, received hundreds of abusive texts and voice messages from strangers. He was informed by the MLB Secretariat that he was banning all MLB stadiums indefinitely, and he was surprised to learn that a package full of feces had arrived in front of his parents' house in a rural Connecticut town.
He said "My family went through these things because of me. There are people who are constantly getting calls, and sending ugly pictures of their genitals"I regret it so much and hope it never happens. Guys, didn't you guys win the World Series. I want you to leave me alone now," he said, expressing his pain.
Capobianco "I didn't mean to touch the player's body. I just wanted to take the ball out. I regret that I made a mistake because of my passion for the Yankees and my excitement from the good stands I've never sat in."
He was a little disappointed at the notice from the MLB Secretariat, but understood. I desperately hope that I can regain my reputation soon and go to Yankee Stadium again, but I also understand that it will take some time" he said.
The man, who said he was also willing to donate or volunteer to lift disciplinary action, said "I want to stop being forgotten by people", he complained of distress.
