Astros fan explains action after interrupting Yankees game - "I just wanted to make the moment special"

Yordan Alvarez, a star player for the Houston Astros, was ejected from Sunday's game against the New York Yankees due to fan interference. However, the highlight of the evening was the interview with the fan.

Alvarez launched a deep fly ball which was racing straight to the left field foul line wall at Minute Maid Park in the sixth inning of the Yankees' 6-1 victory. Everson Pereira of the Yankees got right on the ball and appeared to be in position to make the catch, but then a spectator lunged out and whacked the ball.

The fan's interview was amazing. In their first-ever baseball game, the guy, who had just recently arrived in the Houston region, was just trying to enjoy himself with his kid.

“I just wanted to make the moment special for him,” the fan said. “As a father, I felt like it’s my job to make sure I give him the best moments."

“I apologize to the Astros organization," he said. I didn't know. Y’all gotta understand, when it’s dropping down it looks like it’s coming directly to you. So I reached, and my body went for what I know. But we did have a wonderful moment. Truthfully, Houston loves me and I love Houston. They cannot stop me from supporting the Asteroids.”

The Yankees dominated the game and won it 6-1. They scored two three-run frames and used eight hits to secure a five-run victory. In the sixth inning, Jasson Dominguez blasted a two-run home run, and in the ninth, Gleyber Torres scored a solo home run.
