For better or worse, New York Yankees fan Austin Capobianco made a name for himself Tuesday night for disrupting the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers and now he will have to suffer the consequences.
The Big Apple team has confirmed that Capobianco and his friend, who attempted to remove a ball from the glove of Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts in addition to grabbing his arm, will not be able to attend Game 5 on Wednesday night.

“The Yankees and Major League Baseball maintain a zero-tolerance policy for the kind of behavior demonstrated last night. These fans will not be permitted to attend tonight’s game in any capacity,” the organization said.
Reached by ESPN reporter Jesse Rogers, the fan said he hopes his ban from entering Yankee Stadium will be short-lived. If he or his partner shows up at the stadium on Wednesday evening, they will be arrested.
On social networks, many Internet users called for the two men to be banned for life from Yankees games.
New York, which was trailing 3-0 before that point, ultimately beat Los Angeles 11-4 to stay alive in this World Series.
