Mookie Betts says he wanted to “fight” fans who mobbed him during the World Series

Just hours after fans tried to pull a ball out of Mookie Betts' glove on Tuesday, the outfielder remained calm and said the incident was “irrelevant.”

But now that his Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions, he's letting his true feelings show.

Betts caught a ball while jumping against the wall and toward the fans, and a fan tried to rip the glove from Betts' hand and took the ball out while another fan held Betts' wrist.

Fans were immediately evicted and not allowed to attend Game 5, although a vocal minority continued to celebrate them.

Betts didn't talk much about it after Game 4, but he let it all out after Game 5.

“That was wild, man. That was really wild. I've never experienced anything like this before. I told my wife it was the second time in my life I ever wanted to fight someone,” Betts told FOX after winning his third World Series title.

“I understand, man. I understand. I don't know if he was trying to get the ball, I don't know what he was really trying to do, but he had to do what he had to do and it is what it is.

The fans were identified as Austin Capobianco and John Peter. The two fans are season ticket holders and had prepared for a moment like Tuesday evening.

“We always joke about the ball in our area,” Capobianco told ESPN. “We won’t bother attacking. If it’s in our area, we’ll go up ‘D’.”

Fans were given a refund and their seats were given over to a pediatric cancer patient and his family.
