If it's a fair ball and a fan touches it, the runner gets to go to 2nd base. If there's a runner on 2nd or 3rd they get to go home automatically if a fan interferes
That depends it they grab it and bring it over the wall and the outfielder might have caught it it's an out. Also Daz the defense would still want to catch the ball in foul territory because it still counts as an out.
@justinmorris7176 Right but I am assuming it also depends on the fan because if your team is batting and you touching it means it's a home run or a free base you're gonna touch it. If it's an automatic out you're not gonna touch it unless it's far enough out of play. And vice versa if your team is fielding. I know the rules are always changing and especially this year with the pitch clock is the biggest change in recent memory if not ever, so I'm not even sure anymore what the rules are for fan interference in each situation.
7:53 You guys passed by this like it was nothing, but this one play led to one man's life getting ruined. The guy who reached for the foul ball got blamed for the consequential choke/collapse of the Cubs in Game 6 of the NLCS. If that ball is an out, it's only one more inning and the Cubs make the World Series for the first time since 1945. That said, it wasn't his fault that a bunch of errors occurred afterwards, and that they lost the next day, either, but he still had to go into hiding more or less after this game and has yet to talk to media about this experience.
Yep. The "Bartman Play." Bartman has been invited back to Wrigley and he did get a WS ring in 2016, but he stays secluded. Sad because I don't think Moises Alou had a chance at catching that and I'm a lifelong Cubs fan.
Hi guys. A batted ball is fair if it touches the ground in fair territory past third base or first base. Sp if a ground ball passes the base and then goes foul, it is a fair ball. A ball can also be rolling in foul ground and roll back fair before it gets to the base, that would be a fair ball. Fans are told to please not interfere with the ball, but youth and or alcohol makes a difference too. Best thing a fan can do is keep their butts in the seat. Then they can't reach a ball that is in play. Oh and there are a couple stadiums where the fans traditionally throw back a home run if the other team hits it. Though a lot of fans (especially young ones) don't want to throw it back. The other fans will boo mercilessly if they don't throw it back.
In Chicago, (The Chicago Cubs), If the opposing team hits a home run into the outfield seats, it's a "custom" for whoever caught it to throw it back on the field. They don't have to, the other fans around you will make your life a living hell if you don't. But that's only in Chicago. Also, in the case of "fan interference", when a fan interferes with a ball in play, (like catching a fair ball) the official rule is to give the hitter a double, (2nd base).
If the ball is on the crowd’s side of the railing it’s free game for spectators to go for it even if a player might catch it. If it’s on the field side then the umpire could rule the batter out if he thought the fielder was going to catch it.
If the ball is hit in the line but bounces out of bounds BEFORE a base (third or first) it’s foul. If it stays fair after after a base it can go out of bounds but still be fair. The actual base & lines determine foul or not.
The Red Man & the fans mocking the pitcher were at Phillies games. I was actually at the one game with the kid that ran on the field & the whole ballpark was chanting “A**hole, A**hole”, then cheering when the Braves outfielder tripped him.
A ball that is hit by the batter is considered in fair play if it is inside the foul line as it passes first or third base. Once it passes the base, the ball may then cross the foul line into foul territory and the ball remains in play. If the ball crosses the foul line (and stays in foul territory) prior to passing first or third base, it is considered a foul ball and everyone resets. The guy wearing the leaf suit is a Chicago Cubs fan. The Cubs play at Wrigley field which is famous for the ivy that covers it's brick outfield wall. Interestingly, my home town (Freeport, IL) has a much smaller replica of Wrigley field called "Little Cubs Field" that is used for youth baseball. It's outfield wall has ivy that was taken from the original ivy at Wrigley.
Daz - to answer your last question - there is a tradition in baseball that when a visiting team hits a home run - the fans of the home team that dominate the stadium are supposed to throw the ball back onto the field - the idea being that no fan of the home team would want a souvenir of a hit that hurt their own team. It's done out of repulsion for the visiting team scoring against your team - ie the home team. Thanks for your reactions - i enjoy watching them.
If a Fan catchs a live, playable(to the fielders) ball, its fan interference, The Umpire will awards outs, or the runners the bases he would have expected them to make if there had been no interference.
1.) if its a grounder it needs to stay fair till the 1st or 3rd base bag... in the air it needs to stay fair till it lands 2.) Fans can't reach into the field of play on a ball in play. Happened famously to cost the cubs a world series birth. The guy could of been murdered. 3.) The cubs somehow claim the throw it back is theirs, but everyone does it, who would want a souvenir that cost your team a win.
A fan reaching over to catch the ball when it is still on the field costs the catcher the ability to throw the ball to someone on the field to get someone out. They do not replay the last bat.
If an opponent hits a homer off the cubs, the ball gets thrown back. We lost for 108 years. It became a tradition. Gives the bleachers some juice. If you go to a park go to wrigley and stand right under the center field score board. There’s a ledge and beers are 3 feet away. Wide feet and elbows protects your spot.
The fastest balls hit in most MLB games are 110mph-115mph. I believe 122 mph is the fastest ever. Fielders throwing the ball to first base or around the infield or from the outfield are throwing at 85mph-95mph. And of course pitchers are throwing 95mph-104mph. Hence, why all baseball players wear gloves.
if the ball traveling down either line goes inside or over the base itself (third or first) it is a fair ball no matter what happens to it after that. The umpire down that line will signal fair or foul by pointing to the field for a fair ball and away from the field for a foul ball. Watch the umpire along the line.
You'll never be able to appreciate these baseball videos that cover random idiosyncrasies of the game because you're still too unfamiliar with normal game behavior, culture and expectations. When you don't understand the basics of the game (fair vs foul balls), you're gonna be confused.
Grabbing a ball is like getting a hidden treasure. I've been going to games for over 40 years and am still looking to get my first foul ball. My mom even got a foul ball during a Yankees/Rangers game. 😂😂
Hey guys. Regarding foul balls down the line…if the ball goes inside or on the bag, it’s fair and in play, regardless if it eventually goes foul. I feel for these fans…it happens so fast that they generally don’t see the fair/fall call from the umpire. Cheers ❤️
@@areguapiri Yea. I had to look it up, but apparently the term was used in the very early days of baseball too, as baseball was a loosely related spinoff of cricket.
this angers me so damn much, especially if you are an actulay fan of the team you screw over, are you remedial!!!!!???? they obviously never played a sport or get taught properly
people go crazy trying to catch baseballs because of how much they're going to be worth in the future.. look up how much these balls are worth.... it will blow your mind.

@@ActiœnManno matter what, If a fan reaches over the wall, as soon as they touch the ball it’s out of play

Poor Bartman. Dude’s life really was ruined. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I watched the documentary.
@@andirandolph8830 Yep. He basically went into seclusion.
I'm so glad the Cubs gave him a WS ring when they won. It was the least he deserved. Poor, poor man. Life ruined while being an innocent fan.
@@joshkots Me too!

Some places think of it as a tradition to throw back the homerun ball if it's hit by the away team.
Even those pop flies are gonna hurt to catch bare-handed most the time. You wouldn't want to do it over and over.
It does hurt... everyone pretends it doesn't because everyone else is watching
@@DashRiprock513 A bit of an adrenaline rush as well. Unless you're the guy holding the baby, then you're cool as a cucumber. 😅
Catching pop flies does not hurt. Trying to catch line drives hurts like hell.

A truly stupid tradition at Wrigley Field.
Jeffery Mayer still is not allowed in Baltimore…

Also, where the fan was kicked out by the umpire, also Phillies game ❤️⚾️

Sad watching adults fight over a foul ball especially when they take it from a kid.

I believe it's a Chicago Cubs thing to throw the ball back
cubs its a tradition to throw a home run ball back on field if its hit by the oppossing team
If an opponent hits a homer off the cubs, the ball gets thrown back. We lost for 108 years. It became a tradition. Gives the bleachers some juice. If you go to a park go to wrigley and stand right under the center field score board. There’s a ledge and beers are 3 feet away. Wide feet and elbows protects your spot.
They don't do the play over. Everyone advances on the bases. It's like free bases for the batting team.
The fastest balls hit in most MLB games are 110mph-115mph. I believe 122 mph is the fastest ever. Fielders throwing the ball to first base or around the infield or from the outfield are throwing at 85mph-95mph. And of course pitchers are throwing 95mph-104mph. Hence, why all baseball players wear gloves.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT EXIT VELOCITY!!!
@@areguapiri The question was why baseball fielders wear gloves. I gave the reasons why.
4:57 - you guys should do deep dive into this one.
11:09 and 12:32, same play, they interviewed the kid during the game.
Home runs hit by the opposing team at your home field are in some places thrown back by the home fans out of disdain/disrespect for the visiting team.
It's acceptable for an adult to have a glove only if he's there with his kid. Father son thing. Otherwise he's a knob.
🤣
if the ball traveling down either line goes inside or over the base itself (third or first) it is a fair ball no matter what happens to it after that. The umpire down that line will signal fair or foul by pointing to the field for a fair ball and away from the field for a foul ball. Watch the umpire along the line.
3:55 the infamous Zach Hample, the most hated fan in baseball.There's even an online petition to have him banned.

Chicago Cubs, you can't keep a homerun ball hit by the opposing team

Only special homeruns. Not foul balls.
