Dodgers stars upset over Yankees fan interference incident

Dodgers players and staff told The Post that the Yankees should discipline their two fans who aggressively grabbed Mookie Betts’ glove and arm in Game 4, and a pair of Dodgers suggested the duo should never see the inside of a ballpark again.

The Yankees removed the pair, identified as Austin Capobianco and John Peter, who attempted to remove the ball hit by Gleyber Torres from Betts’ glove in the first inning. The team also took their Game 5 tickets and gave them to a pediatric cancer patient, his younger brothers and his mother, and is considering further action, a Yankees spokesman said.

“It should be an immediate lifetime ban. They should never be allowed to step on any ballpark again,” Dodgers star Max Muncy told The Post. “If it’s a random thing where you’re trying to catch the ball and you hit a (player), that’s one thing. But in that scenario you have two guys trying to grab Mookie’s glove and then his hand – that’s a lifetime ban.

“It’s trespassing. You could file (charges) for that,” Muncy added.

A few other Dodgers people wondered what would have happened if Betts had been injured in the incident, which is not out of the question since he was in the air and his arms were outstretched. If he had been hurt, those two fans could have tainted this entire World Series, a la the 2017 Astros championship, a few other Dodgers people mentioned. (The Dodgers were the ones who lost the 2017 World Series.)

“It was absolutely ridiculous — banned for life, whatever it is, there’s got to be some disciplinary action,” Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux said. “You can’t grab a player’s arm and hold on. There is no room for that.”

The fans showed no remorse when they spoke to ESPN and even suggested there was premeditation, with one of them telling the magazine: “We always joke with the ball in our area. We don’t want to go out of our way to attack. If it’s in our area, we’ll “D” it up.”

Some Dodgers folks noted how lucky we all are that Betts was unharmed. Betts himself declined to talk about it before Game 5, saying only, “I don’t care.”

“Thankfully Mookie is OK, that’s the biggest thing,” Muncy said.

Teoscar Hernandez was amused in real time, but upon further review, the Dodgers outfielder realized the potential gravity of the situation.

“I’ve never seen anything like this, but now that I see the pictures and the videos and all that, it’s kind of crazy what’s going on,” Hernandez said. “…Fans know they can’t do what they did (Tuesday) night.”

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was pleased with the result.

“We didn’t need them to be here, so (the Yankees) refunded their tickets,” Roberts said. “So it’s perfect, right?”

Alex Verdugo had plenty of experience playing at Yankee Stadium as a visitor with the Red Sox before being traded to the Yankees. The veteran outfielder said the fan interference was “extreme” in this case, but not a reason to worry about the players’ safety.

“I feel like that’s what you expect out here,” Verdugo said. “You expect some unique things. At the end of the day, I didn’t feel like it was too serious. I think Mookie shook it off too. It’s just a kind of passion that New Yorkers have.”

Some Dodgers disagreed, expressing dismay that the guys dressed in Yankees gear received a hero’s welcome from some around them. They were not happy about that.

“Everybody high-fiving them — it’s nothing to high-five about,” Muncy said. “You could have really hurt our right fielder.”
