The option of choosing “I definitively 100% saw the fan reach over into the field of play” is the worst call the replay ump could have made of all his options

Exactly. The replay ump had three options.

1) It remains a home run b/c it hit the fan's glove (which was out of play) then bounced back in play. Unlikely b/c no one saw it hit the glove

2) The fan and fielder missed it and it hit the top of the wall so it should be a double. (99.9% of people with sight and baseball knowledge expected this call)

3) the fan touched it even though it can't be seen. The fan was in the field of play which ddn't happen and can't be seen. Literally, the most unlikely option to choose and this is where they landed.
