"Worst experience ever" - Hollywood star Wendell Pierce reveals leaving Yankees stadium in World Series Game 5 after fans 'threw things' at him
Wendell Pierce, famous for his role as Robert Zane in "Suits," left the World Series Game 5 between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday due to "obnoxious people" at Yankee Stadium.
Yankees fan behavior has been a hot topic off late, and another incident came in when the respected actor was allegedly thrown bottles for talking with a Dodgers fan. He took to social media, highlighting what he faced at the stadium.
"Unfortunately I just left the Yankees game because I was talking to a Dodgers fan and people were throwing things at me," Pierce wrote on X.
"Unruly, obnoxious people can ruin everything. The worst experience ever. The game and experience is of no significance now. The spirit of sports ends with the ugliness of humanity."
It comes after controversial fan interference made by two Yankees fans in Game 4 on Tuesday.
Two Yankees fans interfered with Mookie Betts trying to catch a foul ball in Game 4
Earlier this postseason, Dodgers fans received a lot of flak from other teams' fanbases for their disrespectful behavior toward Padres players on the field. It comes around, they say.
In Game 4 of the World Series,-a fly ball from Gleyber Torres in the first inning went into deep right field near the foul zone where Mookie Betts was fielding. The eight time All-Star tried catching the ball, but two Yankees fans, now identified as Austin Capobianco and John Peter, tried to grab it out of his glove, and one even tried hurting Betts' wrist.
The umpires called it fan interference and recorded it as out in the Dodgers' favor.
The Yankee Stadium security escorted the two fans out of the building.
Interestingly, what unfolded afterwards had one baseball star taking a dig at ESPN reporter Jesse Rogers, who met both guys and interviewed them. Moreover, he asked for their autograph and a picture with them.
That riled many, including first baseman Eric Hosmer, who wrote:
"What a joke❗️Couple things here, I hope all current/future players take note on how PRO Mookie has handled this whole situation. I also hope you guys start recognizing these type of reporters and stop giving them access and your time if this is what they choose to promote. Give them the 🥾 just like the Pads gave Ken. What a 💩 article."
Both Peter and Austin felt proud of their act, which has put Yankees fans in the crosshairs of other fanbases on social media.
