Holy Crap I Just Had a Nightmarish Flashback to Jeffrey Maier

What were you looking at??!?!?! No way, dude. The fans were out over the edge of the fence and that's where the contact took place.

I can drink my Orange KookAid with the best of them, but the ball and glove were over the wall and beyond the field of play. At that point, it's no longer fan interference. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. They Yankees get more than their fair share of home cooking calls from the umps, I just don't think that this was one off them.

Thats the way i seen it too. The fans were in the field of play. My question is if they replay it, do they have to rule HR or an out? Or is there a third option, Ground rule double?

That's absolutely incorrect. The ball hit off the top of the fence and went in, but before that happened, one of the fans contacted Cruz's glove in the field of play.

If they had reviewed it, IMO Cano would have been out.

It wasn't quite as blatant as Maier's interference, but it absolutely should have been reviewed. It looked to me like more than one fan hit Cruz's glove. I haven't seen an angle yet that shows where the contact took place. Was Cruz's glove over the wall into the stands?

It should have been reviewed, but I don't think it would have been overturned.

Really?

Uh, you're wrong. Look very closely for evidence. That is the very definition of fan interference.

Because that's what he thinks MLB wants because MLB clearly doesn't want replay.

You don't put a limited replay system in place and then not use it because you didn't want replay in the first place. The umpire screwed up here big time, that is what happened.
