Legal? I don’t think its a crime, but no in baseball its not “legal”. The batter was called out. And these two buffoons should never see the inside of an MLB stadium again.
I saw it live on TV. Jaw dropping.
Hope he got booted.
Rats gonna rat.
“Gio ” on WFAN is calling it the turnaround moment of the series, as in winning momentum. I hope he’s kidding.
I think most Cubs fans would disagree.
Jeffrey Maier incident
The Jeffrey Maier incident occured during Game 1 of the 1996 American League Championship Series between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. Twelve-year-old Jeffrey Maier deflected a batted ball, hit by Derek Jeter, into the Yankee Stadium stands for what umpires ruled to be a home run, rather than fan interference. His interference altered the course of Game 1.[1] The resulting home run allowed the Yankees to tie the score.[2] They were victorious in the game and won the series four games to one.
Liberal azhos can’t control themselves in public. They spit on and throw stuff at entertainers at concerts. Now they’ve started interfering in sporting events. They act just like a group of unmonitored, immature chimpanzees.
If it’s unacceptable to do that during World Series games then it’s unacceptable to do it during exhibition games. If that’s not how it works now it should be.
Looked a bit like he doesn’t have a full roster of chromosomes. Pretty strong though, ripping the ball out the glove.
Who cares. It’s bread and circus while our nation is dieing.
Both teams have the worst fan bases. Arrogant entitled jackasses. Dislike both franchises
From the video, to my eyes anyway, it looks like Mookie's glove was is in the stands (fans are allowed to go for the ball if it's in the stands) and that he caught the ball for the out.
The theft of the ball, and the grabbing of a players mitt took place after the catch.
Looking at the play-by-play description, I only see mention of a "foul-out" and not "fan interference".
I saw something worse in a summer game many years ago (maybe 1985). The visiting team's fielder (either the third baseman or the left fielder) caught a fly ball just inside the stands but one of the fans took it out of his glove, so it was declared a home run instead of an out because the umpires didn't see what happened. Home town fan helped the home team, with no repercussions.
I don't remember who was playing or what the final score was.
Bullcrap.
