Jeffrey Maier was just as confused as everyone else by the Yankees fans’ interference in Game 4

Former Yankees fan interferer Jeff Maier shares his thoughts on recent fan incident involving Mookie Betts in Game 4. Maier, infamous for his 1996 incident, reflects on the similarities and differences between the two incidents. Two adult fans were ejected after interfering with Betts during Game 4, and were banned from attending Game 5. Maier, now a father, offers advice to the fans involved, suggesting they do not repeat their actions and acknowledging the costly mistake they made. He also reflects on how being a father has changed his perspective and understanding of his own fan interference incident. Despite the urge to react to a ball in the air, Maier emphasizes the importance of boundaries and not interfering with players. Reflecting on his own experience, Maier admits that he might not be as agile as he was at 12 years old, but he cannot definitively say whether he would make the same decision to reach for a home run ball again. Maier’s perspective offers a unique insight into the mindset of fans in high-pressure situations during baseball games.
