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.



However a bigger lesson was reiterated tonight, don’t bring your glove to the game past 8th grade

This guy tonight, and the guy that got rocked in the head. How many more signs does God need to send these adults? I fear a lighting bolt might be next

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?!?!?

I mean LSU’s outfield is kinda designed for that. Has been for years. Anyone that’s ever sat in the OF could tell you interference is impossible.

If the guy with the glove touched the ball at that fence, the ball was way out of the park

The ball didn’t go over the wall. How would it be a home run?

How can you definitively say the fan reached over the wall causing interference?

Regardless it was called a hom run. It was then overruled. It was a home run overrule

It should have been ruled a double considering the HR would have been overturned anyways without a fan there. The ball hits off the top of the wall behind the outfielder’s glove and lands in play.

This happened a few weeks ago on a Tommy White Homerun and I pulled my hand back at the last second for the exact reason you saw tonight. My friends sent me this pic and made fun of my fat arse. But now y'all see why it's important not to touch a ball unless it's over the fence.

Seems like if you’re reviewing whether it hit the wall or the railing behind the wall, you shouldn’t be able to review a different aspect of the play, like fan interference.

Alex Box is that way. Unfortunately, the dipshit in Birmingham didn't know that

I think hitting the yellow stripe is a home run.

I never said it should have been a homerun. I said it was a homerun overrule and the call they made was wrong

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

Yeah they should have reviewed it and ruled it a double

Can touched the players glove or at least I hope so because in all the replays I never saw the ball change trajectory

Are you saying you are 100% positive the ball was not past the wall when the fan touched it? Or just saying they should have split the baby?

From that angle the fan couldn’t have touched the ball and made the ball not go over the wall without reaching over. The fan either didn’t touch the ball or he reached over and touched it. Which is impossible to do. So he didn’t touch the ball and it hit off the top of the wall on its own.
