Looks like MLB did

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/42093437/sources-yankees-fans-interfered-mookie-betts-banned-world-series-game-5

Here was the fan's quote, what a fake-hard floor-slapper

"We always joke about the ball in our area. We're not going to go out of our way to attack. If it's in our area, we're going to 'D' up. Someone defends, someone knocks the ball. We talk about it. We're willing to do this.

I know when I'm in the wrong and as soon as I did it, I was like, 'Boys I'm out of here.' I patrol that wall and they know that."
His response is a proper summation of everything I expected him to be. Shame on the Yankees for not immediately banning him the rest of the series and considering banning him for life or years at minimum. Ridiculous that MLB had to step in.

Wouldn't you know, Rob Gronkowski fondly remembers his college friendship with the Yankees fan in question, who was a defensemen for the Arizona Wildcats ice hockey team in the late 2000s.

Quite an entertaining interview:

Call me crazy but the idea that fans can fight players for the ball is kind of awesome.

Considering the stakes and the situation, this might be the worst defensive inning ever

Whewwwww good game, DODGERS WIN!!!!   Love it!!!  

Beat both NY teams with bigger payrolls, and despite being a super-team, all the injuries throughout the year made it a tough season.  Still won the NL West and navigated the postseason's series of coin-flips.

This feels good.
Glad it was against the Yankees.  That makes it better.

I mean, they all get thrown in the dumpster after getting covered in beer.  And half of them never see the light of day

It wasn't the 1960 WS,  that result is wild when staring at a composite box score.

But that was a 7 game series.  This was 4-1, where the team that won 1 won everywhere except defense and base running
