Betts' hand was clearly in the stands behind the yellow line which by rule should have made it a homerun.

I've seen multiple angles from Red Sox and Stros fans all over twitter with both showing the most flattering angle for their fanhood. I don't think it can be argued that Bett's glove was at or across the yellow line. The question is whether the fan who's hands were in front of Bett's glove made contact with the ball or with his glove before either left the field of play.All the angles show it's a close call, had it been called a HR it wouldn't have been overturned. One of the classic "the play stands" where there isn't enough evidence and you have to go with the ruling on the field.
