How about..runner on 2b off on pitch...ground ball to deep SS who tries to throw runner out at 1b...BR is safe at 1b. Fan yell's "out" (umpire yell's safe)and runner from 2b slows up or stops a few feet from home...first baseman throws to catcher who tags runner from 2b out...a few feet from home?
We had an out....runner was embarrassed...no other players or managers said a word to the umpires....but they did converse with the runner from 2b.
Fan interference was never a consideration.
