It's been nearly two months since two New York Yankees fans grabbed Mookie Betts near the wall in foul territory at Yankee Stadium during the World Series, and the Los Angeles Dodgers star finally shared his real thoughts about the shocking moment.
"I would really say f--k you guys," Betts told Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson on "Back That Year Up 2024" when asked about the situation.

"I would really say f**k you guys."
"I thought about throwing the ball at them & then I realized Mook you ain't gonna do sh*t, go back to right field!"

Betts added that he thought about throwing the ball he caught at the pair of Yankees fans before realizing it would be a bad move.
The duo in question was removed from Game 4 of the World Series after grabbing Betts' glove and attempting to rip the ball away from him, clearly interfering with the catch.
"Well, A for effort."
