Ex-Yankee Jon Berti makes critical error against Dodgers after fuming over World Series ‘disrespect’

Jon Berti can’t escape the Dodgers.

The ex-Yankees infielder — who expressed his frustrations with Los Angeles’ disrespect toward his former team after some critical World Series blunders — opened the door for a Dodgers rally on Tuesday morning in his first game with the Cubs.

Berti, who mostly played third base for the Yankees, made the start for Chicago at second base in the season opener in Japan. 

In the top of the fifth inning in a 1-1 ballgame, Berti made a crucial mistake when he sailed his throw over the first baseman on a potential inning-ending double play.

The wild throw allowed Shohei Ohtani to score and it kept the inning alive for the Dodgers as they went on to score one more run in the frame on their way to a 4-1 victory.

It was the Dodgers’ first meaningful game since beating the Yankees in Game 5 of the World Series — in which the Bombers blew a 5-0 lead in the fifth inning thanks to several critical fielding mistakes.
