“That was one of the most aggressive ‘fan ripping the ball out of his glove’ (incidents) I’ve ever seen,” former MLB umpire Dale Scott said, according to Kuty.

Both the Yankees and their fans are desperate for a victory as they look to avoid a clean sweep by Los Angeles. New York seemed capable of giving the Dodgers a good series after taking things to extra innings in Game 1, but it’s been all Los Angeles since then.

The Dodgers won Game 2 4-2 and dominated Game 3 as their pitchers held the Yankees scoreless until the ninth inning when Alex Verdugo finally got them on the board with a two-run home run.

Los Angeles’ mound work has been too much for New York through three games, especially for star Aaron Judge, who had a hit in Game 1 but has since gone 0 for 7 and reached base only once.

Now on the verge of elimination, the Yankees need someone to step up and contribute more, although they would probably prefer their fans to simply enjoy the game rather than try to make their own move.
