Actor Wendell Pierce left Game 5 of the World Series early due to disruptive behavior from fans at Yankee Stadium, describing the experience as the 'worst ever'. He expressed his frustration on social media, stating that while he was engaging with a Dodgers fan, nearby spectators began throwing objects at him, which overshadowed the impressive performances on the field, including Gerrit Cole's near no-hitter. Pierce criticized the 'unruly, obnoxious' behavior of some fans, lamenting how it detracted from the spirit of sports. He noted that the negativity he encountered made him indifferent to the game's outcome and contrasted it with the respectful atmosphere of the Olympics. This incident follows a previous fan interference case during Game 4, where two fans were ejected for attempting to grab a ball from Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts. The Yankees organization emphasized the importance of safety and security during events at their stadium.
