[QUOTE="jake102, post: 2637880, member: 38269"] Statistics. Unless I'm mistaken, there is no umpire at the back wall. So any umpire making the call is looking at it from an angle that is literally impossible to tell depth of a fan's arm. So, from there, it is highly more likely that Betts does not catch the ball than catch it. I mean, you saw it happen in the same game where Springer went up and the ball bounced off his glove. You better be darn sure the fan interfered if you are going to make that call on the field. What really should happen is the ump calls it a dead ball and they make the call on replay. What really really should happen is that they change the rule, and barring an egregious interference, it's a ground rule double. Changing that homerun to an out probably changed win probability by 20% or more. [/QUOTE]
