In all my 38 years of umpiring I have NEVER had to move any fan out of any position in dead ball territory.
Two posters here have said they have . . . and that's fine.
For an umpire to state he had had to move fans 5 times in his career speaks for itself. While I cannot even begin to comment on the specific examples it appears that this is the same umpire that for the last few years has told us how advanced not only the baseball is that is played in his area but how SUPERIOR the umpires are.
Frankly the facts in this thread don't make sense to me.

Gee, I've only been on these forums since last year. From where do you get the last few years?
As I said, it was not fans that were moved, but baseball's version of an internet troll or spammer. I have no problem with fans, and the comments that accompany them. And I said less than 5 times. I can only remember a couple of times, which can be counted on one hand, as I stated.
