Some baseball fans weren’t happy to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle getting the royal treatment at Dodger Stadium over MLB royalty during Game 4 of the World Series.
Among those unhappy fans was Mets broadcaster Howie Rose, who took to X on Wednesday to question why Dodgers great Sandy Koufax was sitting a row behind the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“How does Sandy end up in the second row?” Rose asked in the post. “Maybe those are his permanent, personal seats but Sandy Koufax takes a back seat to no one. Especially at Dodger Stadium.”
The Brooklyn-born Koufax played for the Dodgers his entire career (1955-66), winning four World Series titles with the ball club — including one in 1955 when the team was still in Brooklyn.
He was a seven-time All-Star, won three Cy Young Awards and won two World Series MVPs.
Koufax threw four no-hitters and tossed one of MLB’s 24 perfect games on Sept. 9, 1965.
Suffice to say, his baseball credentials are plenty deserving of a front row seat at the World Series for his former team.

People were quick to notice on Tuesday night that Harry and Markle were given premium real estate, while Koufax and Lakers legend Magic Johnson — a Dodgers part-owner — were sitting in the second row.
Game 4 featured plenty of Hollywood star power with several celebs on hand to see the Blue Jays tie the best-of-seven series up at 2-2.
NBA superstar LeBron James, actor Brad Pitt, actress Sydney Sweeney and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers were just some of the names in attendance at Chavez Ravine.
The royal couple appeared to enjoy themselves at the game, with Markle posting a photo to her Instagram that included her and Harry posing with Johnson. She also posted a video of their Dodgers “Date night.”
