Yankees fans were enraged during the ninth inning of Friday’s World Series opener versus the Dodgers when a home fan interfered with a potential go-ahead home run from Gleyber Torres.
With the game tied 2-2, the second baseman blasted a shot to center field and it initially appeared that the ball was gone.
However, umpires quickly determined that a fan had reached over the wall and interfered with the play, before confirming that ruling and putting Torres on second base.
Aaron Judge then popped out to end the inning and fans were furious at the controversial decision.
‘Keep the ball in play, why would you want to catch it? DO NOT INTERFERE! Freaking idiot man!,’ one said on X.
