The most memorable fan moments in New York Yankees history

4. Donnie Baseball Gets Hungry Too

Fans are fun, but interactions between fans and players tend to be extremely entertaining. This was proven when Don Mattingly decided to help himself to a little snack during a Yankees game back in 1992.

After chasing down a foul ball down the right field line, Mattingly soon realized the ball was far out of his reach.

As the crowd, including a tiny child, looked towards the ball, Donnie Baseball saw his opportunity and took a handful of popcorn from the boy.

The boy doesn’t even question the slick move but sits in awe of Mattingly eating his popcorn. I don’t blame you at all, kid. Not at all.
