Freddie Freeman surprised by Mookie Betts' controversial fan altercation in World Series

With the stakes as high as ever during the Dodgers' World Series bout against the Yankees, Mookie Betts was involved in controversy during the fourth game of the series.

Betts, who seemingly snagged a foul ball from Gleyber Torres during the game, was interrupted by two Yankees fans in the stands, who attempted to snatch the ball from Betts' gloves. The ball slipped from the Dodgers outfielder's grasp and popped out with the umpires calling for fan interference.

Freddie Freeman, who watched the incident unfold from first base, shared his thoughts on the controversy in a chat with NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce.

"So I see him catch it, and he's not coming back into play, and I'm like 'What is going on?'. Then I can see them (Yankees fans) trying to rip his glove open and then I see the ball go flying out of his glove. I was like 'What just happened?'." Freeman said. [0:35]

Freddie Freeman played through an ankle injury through the majority of the postseason. Despite his injury, he helped the team to their eighth World Series title, taking home the MVP award after his record-breaking six home runs in six consecutive Fall Classic games.
