Part 7/7:
This incident serves as a significant reminder that the line between fan engagement and reckless behavior is thin and easily crossed.

As we move on from this chapter, the essence of sportsmanship remains crucial. Enjoying the game should never come at the cost of another person's safety or well-being. The fallout from Mookie Betts’ World Series incident has made that abundantly clear, and it is a lesson that transcends any single game or player.
