New York radio host calling Dodgers 'classless pigs' has no idea what he's talking about

Last week, the Tommy Edman fly ball that Aaron Judge dropped in Game 5 of the World Series was sold at auction for an unbelievable $43,510. It was an egregious amount of money to pay for anything, let alone a single baseball that wasn't really part of a landmark event (e.g. Shohei Ohtani's 50/50 ball, Freddie Freeman's walk-off grand slam ball from Game 1). Still, whoever forked over that much money for it must really hate the Yankees, and that does warrant at least a little bit of respect. And, for what it's worth, all of the money will go to charity.

The auction, which appeared on the Dodgers' official site, immediately drew attention from fans, and responses were mixed. LA fans, understandably, thought it was hilarious, but Yankees fans, obviously, took exception to it.

WFAN New York radio host Evan Roberts took his ire to new heights, though, calling the Dodgers "classless pigs" for the incident.

That's a little rich coming from a representative of a fanbase who's cool with other fans grabbing at players, and it's even funnier because it wasn't even the Dodgers' auction; it was MLB's, which Mark Feinsand clarified in a tweet after the Dodgers started to catch heat.

Yankees fans are crying about Aaron Judge's dropped fly ball being auctioned on a Dodgers site

If any Yankees fans are still pressed, they can redirect their energies toward MLB instead of the Dodgers. Judge's dropped ball was auctioned off alongside memorabilia from the All-Star Game, the Rickwood Series, Seoul Series, and so on, with net proceeds going to renovations at Willie Mays Park in Mays' Alabama hometown. Even if it was a "classless" move from the league, they knew how to bait fans to spend money on a good cause.

In fact, maybe the league should've doubled or even tripled down and auctioned the ball Jazz Chisholm failed to dig out at third, which allowed the bases to load after Judge's incident, or the ground ball Mookie Betts hit to Anthony Rizzo, which allowed a run to score after Rizzo and Gerrit Cole failed to cover first base.

Judge will move from center field back to right in 2025 to accommodate Cody Bellinger in center. This probably doesn't have anything to do with the dropped ball fiasco, but it is a fun little reminder of an incident that Yankees fans will never get out from under.
