I was wondering if there is a rule in MLB (or if there are specific stadium rules) regarding the ejection of a fan falling on the field? My co-workers and I are arguing the fact that a fan that falls on the field should (and shouldn't) be ejected from the game immediately because there is a warning stated at the beginning of each game regarding fans on the field. I think a fan reaching for a foul ball takes a risk and therefore should be ejected if they fall on the field. The other side argues is that security should make a ruling as to whether it was an accident or not and whether to eject the fan or be forgiving and allow them to stay. I say if you let one person break the rules more will claiming it was an "accident".
Does anyone have any official info on this ruling or even an opinion on the matter?
