Two New York Yankees fans took over the World Series.

While the best team in the American League fought off season-ending elimination in Game 4 with an 11-4 home win, an instantly controversial play became the talk of the Fall Classic.

Los Angeles right fielder Mookie Betts leapt against a wall in an attempt to catch a foul ball hit by New York’s Gleyber Torres in the first inning.

Betts grabbed Torres’ foul for an apparent out, then chaos ensued.

One Yankees fan wearing sunglasses reached over the wall and interfered with Betts’ catch attempt.

Another New York fan wearing a gray jersey grabbed Betts’ glove and used both hands to interfere in the play.

As the six-time Gold Glove winner tried to pull his glove away, the second Yankees fan kept pulling on Betts’ arm, then ripped the ball out.

Meanwhile, the Yankees fan wearing sunglasses grabbed Betts’ non-glove hand and also directly interfered.

“There should be legal action against them,” one fan tweeted. “They give Yankees fans a bad name.”

“Disgusting Yankee fans,” a second fan wrote.

“Morons,” a third fan posted.

A frustrated Betts walked away in disbelief — and that was just the start of the chaos.

According to ESPN, the Yankees fans are named Austin Capobianco and John Peter.

And the seemingly impromptu decision to interfere with Betts in right field was not an accident.

Capobianco is a Yankees season-ticket holder who “knew he would be in trouble but chose to grab and open Betts’ glove.”

“We always joke about the ball in our area,” Capobianco told ESPN. “We’re not going to go out of our way to attack. If it’s in our area, we’re going to ‘D’ up.

“Someone defends, someone knocks the ball. We talk about it. We’re willing to do this.”

Other baseball fans were blown away by the obvious interference, which disrupted the World Series and resulted in quick ejections.

“Congrats on getting yourselves kicked out of a seat you paid $2,000 for after one inning,” one fan tweeted.

Yankees fans are well known for their passion and intensity, particularly in the outfield seating sections.

As the two fans who interfered in Game 4 were escorted out of the stands by security and ejected, they were also cheered by nearby New York supporters. Some even hugged and offered ‘high fives’.

One of the aggressive outfield fans from Game 4 also received a proud hug before being escorted out of the stadium.

“Of course the rest of the fans are clapping and HUGGING??” a fan tweeted. “Their fans are just as bad as each other.”

“And they will never be allowed to step inside that stadium ever again,” a second fan wrote.

“I can’t wait to listen to the podcast he inevitably starts in six weeks,” a third fan posted.

Betts was visibly frustrated during the play but tried to move on to the next potential clinching game.

“It doesn’t matter,” he said. “We lost. It’s irrelevant. I’m fine. He’s fine. Everything’s cool.

“We lost the game and that’s what I’m kind of focused on. We got to turn the page and get ready for tomorrow.”

The Dodgers’ Tommy Edman said the play appeared “ridiculous,” while Los Angeles rookie Ben Casparius told reporters that he had “never seen anything like it.”

“It’s pretty interesting,” Casparius said. “It was obviously very early in the game so I think it kind of set the tone.”

Capobianco acknowledged that he knew he was in trouble.

But he had an outfield wall in Yankee Stadium to protect.

“As soon as I did it, I was like, ‘Boys I’m out of here,’ ” Capobianco said.

“I patrol that wall and they know that.”

Aaron Judge went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Game 4, while Shohei Ohtani was 1-for-4.

The Dodgers will try to close out the 2024 World Series in Game 5 on Wednesday night, back at Yankee Stadium.

The cheapest ticket on the secondary market was $378 as of Wednesday morning.
