Alex Verdugo doesn’t seem to be too bothered\u00a0about the fan interference incident<\/a>\u00a0involving Mookie Betts in Game 4 of the World Series.<\/p>\n

The sports world is still talking about the two fans who interfered with Betts on a foul popup on Tuesday night. One man reached into Betts’s glove and ripped the ball out, while another grabbed the right fielder’s other arm. Both men were ejected and then\u00a0later banned<\/a>\u00a0from attending Game 5.<\/p>\n

When meeting with the media before Game 5, Verdugo downplayed the incident and chalked it up to the passion of Yankees fans.<\/p>\n

He said, “Maybe one of the more extreme [ones], kinda trying to rip a ball out. But at the same time, that’s kind of New York, I feel like that’s what you expect here … You expect some unique things. At the end of the the day, I didn’t feel it was too serious.”<\/p>\n
