What was I wrong about? Seriously, the rule spectator interference implies that someone was interfered with. I simply do not think there was interference on this play. Maybe you are talking about something else, but I am talking about what happened on the play not the specific rule. And why you quoted the rule is beyond me.
You for some reason have turned this into something else (which I am not sure what you are implying), but it appears the MLB umpires agreed that there was no interference and that is why the call was the way it was. I just agreed with that. The fan in question reached for the ball and was hit in the torso. It was debatable if the fan was even reaching in live ball territory at all, but the fielder reached over the fence to catch the ball. He would have never caught the ball based on the trajectory of the ball and where the fielder’s glove was located.
I can see this bothers you, because it certainly does not bother me.
