Anyone Crying And Pearl Clutching Over The Yankee Fan Interference Is A Pathetic Loser

We just had the Yankee fan who saved their season with the Mookie Betts interference play in the Barstool office and he was INCREDIBLE. Literally couldn't have created a better stereotypical scumbag Yankee fan in a lab than this guy. And when I say "scumbag" I mean that in the most loving and endearing way possible. This guy is everything that a Yankee should fan be. A loud, passionate, Italian greaseball who will do anything it takes to help the team win. We just did a full interview with him linked above that'll be out everywhere else soon and as he told us, "I wasn't trying to get the ball or to hurt him, I was just trying to extend the at-bat." And if you can't respect that, then I don't respect you. 

If you can't look at that video and objectively find it hilarious, then I know everything I need to know about you as a person. I know what you stand for. I know you hate Barstool. I can guess your opinion on any topic there is. It's such a clear divide between people who laugh at that and people who want this guy thrown in prison. Even Mookie Betts after the game last night seemed to not care. People are acting like they decapitated him. He acknowledged to us that the friend probably shouldn't have grabbed his hand, and that's true, but let's not pretend like he tried to fucking decapitate him. All the main fan was trying to do was the get the ball out of the glove and extend the at-bat. The Yankees were down 3-0 in the World Series and you do whatever it takes to extend the at-bat for your guy at the plate. 

And listen, if you're just a Yankee hater and trolling, that's totally fine. I'd do the same if the roles were reversed. Even if you're a Dodgers fan, I sort of get it although I'd counter by saying that you pieces of shit literally threw stuff on the field and balls at Jurickson Profar trying to hurt him which is WAY worse. But if you're just a general fan who is legitimately sick to their stomach over this then GROW UP. If you're one of the people on Twitter saying "This is typical Barstool promoting trash" or whatever bullshit talking point you want to use, then you're not even worth my time. 

This is just a classic baseball moment that had no real consequences other than bringing the Yankee crowd alive and keeping their season alive. Anthony Volpe helped too. But if the Yankees come back and win the series, then this man deserves a parade float and a spot in Monument Park.
