[@lakerskid2013]

I've never seen a fan interference like this with the fan acting all cocky

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

There's only 2 possibilities: 1. He kept smiling to save face because he realized how much of an idiot he'd been and the only way to preserve some dignity in those scenarios when you're a kid is to act like you don't care. 2. He's genuinely that much of a douche and doesn't give a crap that he both cost his team a point and also got his whole family ejected from the game. Either way, I sure hope he got his ass kicked for it.

[@DavidTimmonsEsq]

No, he didn't "cost his team a point". That was never a home run, and almost certainly would have been caught. It's an out either way. Plus, getting kicked out of the park with one out in the bottom of the 9th and your team down five runs is hardly the worst thing in the whole world. And his family didn't at all upset at this. Maybe they were able to beat some of the traffic? People take things far too seriously. He was no Bartman or Meier, anyway.

[@jackdicesare9817]

A bit off topic here, but how on earth does it take as long as it did for the umpires to review and reverse the call? That should have been a 5 second review😂

[@kenconnelly773]

Probably five seconds to decide it’s not a home run. The trickier part to determine is do you think the fielder would’ve caught it, or do you think the ball would’ve gone off the wall and be a double? If there is true doubt, probably give the benefit to the fielder.

[@Coolguy-es7mq]

They were trying to determine if the batter should be awarded a double or if he should be called out. It took them a few minutes to determine if he’d have caught the ball or not.

[@craighanson-rc1md]

The decision was easy it wasn't a homer but the problem was to what end. Was it catchable & thus assume it would be caught & thus an out or a single or a double or whatever. And there really wasn't close enough to know for sure that the player could or would have caught it & all players sooner or later make errors so its not close enough to guarantee he would have caught the ball but it certainly looked highly likely that he would have & thus he was given the benefit of the doubt. I think there was also some discussion about what to do with the kid especially in the 9th inning verses say earlier in the game where ejection would be more guaranteed I would think.

[@rockysolmon1]

​@craighanson-rc1md I always thought if it was fan interference then it's automatically an out.

I hope not. The boys just a kid, and he looks like he's like 10. Let the boy keep the ball, he'll likely cherish it for life. Plus the boy could just keep the ball in his glove and keep it closed. I think that it's technically his property now. I hope that he was able to keep it.

If this were in Chicago, the kid would have to enter witness protection to save his life from the worthless trash that make up Cubs fans.

[@MrBulwer]

So he interferes with a game and he's getting high fives?

[@DavidTimmonsEsq]

Why do people seem to think he cost his team runs? It would have been an out had the fan NOT interfered, which is the point of calling interference - the fielder didn't make the catch but it counts the same as if he had. Personally, I found the kid amusing. Game was out of hand, he didn't change the course of anything, no harm was really done, and it put some spice in an otherwise tedious game for Mets fans - but of course they had to remove him, rules being rules. It was a light moment in a game that was mostly already decided, nothing more.

[@aaronaguilar9172]

Matt it didn’t cost them a run cuz he would’ve made the catch
