Hmm. Not saying you are definitely wrong. But I think the ball could have been heading on a trajectory between the wall/fence. Fan was over fence, not wall. Ball bits fans glove causing slight push back towards field of play wall
I think it’s either how you described, or a homerun. Interference being the worst of the options
But none of the options seem definitive which is what an overrule is supposed to be

The option of choosing “I definitively 100% saw the fan reach over into the field of play” is the worst call the replay ump could have made of all his options
Exactly. The replay ump had three options.
1) It remains a home run b/c it hit the fan's glove (which was out of play) then bounced back in play. Unlikely b/c no one saw it hit the glove
2) The fan and fielder missed it and it hit the top of the wall so it should be a double. (99.9% of people with sight and baseball knowledge expected this call)
3) the fan touched it even though it can't be seen. The fan was in the field of play which ddn't happen and can't be seen. Literally, the most unlikely option to choose and this is where they landed.

There was no call of fan interference on the play itself.
To overturn the call on the field, there must be some high level of video evidence to the contrary.
At BEST, there was fuzzy arse suggestion of fan interference that could be argued for days. So how can the original No call be so quickly overturned?

It shouldnt be. Anyone who has sat in left field knows that guys glove wasnt in the field of play, and i have yet to see a side angle replay showing that it was. Which is what it should take to make such a call

Alex Box is that way. Unfortunately, the dipshit in Birmingham didn't know that
Kinda low key evidence of Birmingham corruption.

What do you expect when you have a bunch of Gumps in the replay office? They like fricking with LSU especially if they think they can get away with it without much scrutiny.

It’s almost impossible to reach into the field of play from those bleachers unless you have arms like an orangutan or you’re leaning completely over the fence.

I'm still pretty upset with this overturn.
There's zero evidence of the rule that was applied. And if there is the SEC should provide it. Until then frick the SEC and their corrupt Birmingham office.
I hope the umpire who got the frick booed out of him for the last 2 innings has sone words with the replay dipshits.

It appears that a call was made that was almost literally impossible but the brains behind the call did not know of the conditions that made it virtually impossible. So corruption.

Picture is from right field, but dimensions are the same. This shows the space between the fence he leaned over and the actual wall. This is why an overturn there is egregious.
I think it was a bad call, because there was nothing indisputable about the fan touching the ball. But in fairness, looking at that photo, you CAN reach over the wall. Look at the guy in the purple shirt, back to the camera. If he sticks his arm out, he will clear the wall. The space between the fence and the wall looks smaller than his body width (meaning he could not stand in there sideways), and his arm is clearly longer than his body is wide.
If he has a glove, it will go over the wall... which is what Birmingham apparently ruled.
Y'all can downvote if you like, it doesn't matter as we won anyway.
I did a screen capture with the twitter video, then zoomed in. It's obviously very blurry, because not only do you get the enlargement pixelation, you also get the motion blur from the ball.
But there's a point where the ball does align with his glove, and the blur of the ball is not round on the bottom- as though it was obscured by part of his glove. It looks like a cresent moon, with the dark edge at about 4 to 5 o'clock.

I fairness, you can't. You can't tell from that picture as the perspective is off.
Not only is the distance too far to reach but it's several feet down from the chain link fence. You would need a 6 foot arm at least to reach the field of play.

This guy says he was there, and the kid did reach over the wall and touch the ball

Are there really 16* retard cucks on here who think a ball hitting the yellow line on the field side of the wall and staying in play is a home run? That’s just a normal ball off the wall.

Now look at the pic you posted. It looks like the kid’s wrist is over the bleacher barrier. His arm isn’t fully extended over the chain link. That’s a home run.

It looks like it’s halfway between his wrist and his elbow. The distance between your elbow and wrist is the same as the size of your foot. Let’s say 12” in length just to be generous. So half of that is 6”. He has an 8” glove webbing. So 14” of length. The bleacher fence and outfield wall are -3’ apart. That means he was not here the wall.

Stadiums should be designed such that a fans outreached, gloved hand cannot physically interfere with a ball in play. It’s not that complicated. Seems like there was a rather significant example of such nonsense at a Chicago Cubs WS game a while back?!?!?

Yea its a pretty simple philosophy. You dont touch it when YOUR team is batting.
Its so funny everyone is arguing if you can or cant reach into field of play since they have master expertise of Alex Box. Maybe the umps should have went and inspected the stands lol.
Anytime they think the fielder “could” have made any play on the ball its going to be interference.
