Ten big questions for the Maple Leafs after 10 games
Despite wild highs (beating the pants off Tampa Bay, snuffing Winnipeg’s perfect record in the Jets’ own barn) and hideous lows (playing cannon fodder for the Blue Jackets, no-showing against coach Craig Berube’s former club, St. Louis), the Maple Leafs have evened out to be one of the most average hockey teams of this young season.
Things couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start on Tuesday for the New York Yankees.
After falling behind 2-0 in the top of the first, a pair of Yankees fans decided to take things into their own hands in the bottom half of the inning, earning a fan interference call and an early trip home.
New York’s leadoff hitter Glyber Torres lofted a fly ball down the right-field line on a 1-0 pitch, and Los Angeles Dodgers‘ Mookie Betts drifted over towards the bleachers, where he went up near the stands to make the catch.
However, the two Yankees fans sitting nearest to the Dodgers star reached over into the field of play, grabbing Betts and forcibly opening his glove to rip the ball out.
Fan interference was immediately called to rule Torres out. According to the broadcast, the two fans were also ejected following the play.
It was the second instance of fan interference in the series, as in Game 2 of the series, a Dodgers fan pulled a ball into the crowd on a drive to outfield wall from Torres.
