Two spectators at Yankee Stadium were ejected during Game 4 of the World Series after interfering with a foul ball caught by Los Angeles Dodgers' right fielder Mookie Betts. The incident unfolded on Tuesday night when Betts leapt at the wall, successfully securing Gleyber Torres' foul ball. However, chaos ensued when a fan clad in a grey Yankees jersey forcibly pried the ball from Betts' glove. Simultaneously, another fan seized Betts' non-glove hand, provoking the player to react with visible frustration.

The incident led to Torres being declared out due to fan interference. This marks the second disruption involving Torres in this series. Earlier, during Game 1 at Dodger Stadium, a fan interference incident granted Torres a double when spectators reached onto the field to catch a fly ball in the ninth inning.
