quote:From the twitter video posted. I slowed it down to .25x and paused when the ball came down, did a screencap and cropped it. You can see the glove does obscure the ball, otherwise it would be a blur with a round bottom, not a blur with a crescent shaped bottom. You can also tell he's leaning out over the fence with his arm fully extended, and the glove almost certainly extends beyond the wall.
You nay be right, but there's no way there was video proof of it hitting the fans glove......doesn't matter though

That chain link bleacher fence sits away from the wall. His body would have to be leaning against/over it for his glove to even have a chance to be in the field of play, and there was no replay that showed that was the case. Turning it into a double was understandable, into an out/interference is pure incompetence.
ETA: Based on how/where he is standing that is 100% a HR if he made contact with the ball. If the ball missed his glove then it hit the wall in the air.

How far back is the fence from the wall? In that shot, his forearm is on the fence, so the tip of his glove can't be more than 18 inches over, probably closer to 12.

How far is that fence he’s leaning against from the top of the wall? Looks like the kid has midget arms and it looks like his elbow doesn’t go past the fence. I’d say that at the absolute max his mid forearm and glove extend 2ft from the fence.

At best, it looks like his elbow is right over the bleacher fence (chain link fence). There is a gap bt the chain link fence and the outfield wall. If anything this pic proves it was a home run.
I think many people here are making the same mistake that the replay official made in Birmingham by thinking the wall and the fence are butted up against each other. But there is absolutely a gap. And that kid would need to have his body hanging over and arms fully towards the field of play to have actually interfered.
