Thank you for the explanation. 
Didn't realize it was just a kid. Tough they kicked him out during that glorious victory, but thems the rules...

the wall on the yellow line and is a home run.
I said last night in a post, I thought it was a Home Run if it hits the yellow stripe and the next poster said, absolutely not.
Now you are saying the same thing. Does anyone know the actual rule about a ball hitting the yellow stripe?

The dude on the right has the biggest hand and longest fingers in the history of dudes.

Look what it takes to get over the wall. It takes fully committing and leaning over at the waist
Now look at the fan. He is on his heels leaning back with barely his forearm over the chain fence. He isn’t over the wall
Idk man, those two pictures make it look more likely that he’s over the wall to me. Those people in the top picture aren’t just reaching “over” the wall, they’re reaching below it. I can absolutely see how, reaching out rather than down, his glove might be in the field of play based on that. Hell there’s a person in the top photo whose elbow is on the fence and their bare hand appears to be over the wall.
I still don’t think it was clear enough for Birmingham to justify calling it fan interference with no call on the field, but I think all of the statements along the lines of “there’s no way he was over the field of play” are a stretch.

Really. No chance that guy catches it if it hits yellow line

This all seems like a gray area that needs some clarification.
If the fan is from the visiting team would that have made it a HR? If our fans interfere with vistor's hit? What if fans start throwing gloves at a playable ball in flight? A visiting fan could do that? What if Aggie fans blow bubbles in a player's face?
The only way to eliminate the gray is to allow any ball hit to the wall to be playable by both fan or player. If fan catches it then it is a home run. If fan misses it then it is playable if it stays in the park.
The glove must be on the hand of the fan at all times. With this new rule, the outfield seats become an easy sell.

You know how hard it is to do this and hit the ball? Lol

This first picture you posted doesn’t help your argument. It shows how little the gap is between the wall and fence. That gap is not big at all.

We won the game.... all is forgiven.

You guys seem hellbent on saying it was impossible to do, but it sure looks otherwise,
nobody is saying he didn’t reach over the chain link fence.
what everyone is saying is that due to the gap between the outfield wall and the chain link fence, the kid would have to have freakishly long arms to extend far enough to go beyond the outfield wall.
and the only way he can interfere is by extending out beyond that wall into the field of play.

People are analyzing this thing like it's the Zapruder film. From what I can see, it looks like Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, and his glove actually does touch the ball. I don't buy the theory that the CIA stationed him in the left field bleachers and used him as a puppet.

It was Oswald and only Oswald.....

Dude I am LSU through and through. Had all my gear on tonight! My dad played football for the Tigers in the 1960s. Has nothing to do with fandom. Just giving the facts. I wanted it to be a home run but the kid touches the ball. I can’t dispute that
This is why I hate most LSU Fans...the ball clearly hit the kids glove. Yet they bitch like it didn't...if the opposite happened they would be all for the ruling.
Don't let your emotions for your team make you look stupid!

He screwed up but I will forgive him since we won the game anyway.
