Yankees fan who went viral played hockey in Arizona

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) – It was an unexemplary play in what is known as the Fall Classic.

In the first inning of Game 4, Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts attempted to catch a foul ball near the right field bleachers. Yankees fan Austin Capobianco, with Betts’ glove in the air, reached out and grabbed it.

Capobianco and his friend, John Peter, were called for fan interference and escorted out of Yankee Stadium. The moment went viral.

This morning on FanDuel’s ‘Up & Adams Show’ on YouTube, there was a revelation from former University of Arizona star and four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski.

“That guy, right here, holding Mookie Betts’ glove, was my friend in college. He was on the Arizona ice hockey team. The whole hockey team was absolute maniacs.”

Capobianco’s hockey card can be seen on eBay.

“It’s unacceptable in the world of sports,” Gronkowski said, referring to interfering with the game. “That’s what fans do when they get the chance to do it.”

However, Capobianco and Peter will not have that opportunity again. The Yankees issued a statement saying that fans would not be allowed to attend Game 5.

Instead, the tickets were given to a cancer patient.

Capobianco is reportedly a season ticket holder. It is unknown if that will continue.
