Yankees followers thought that they had one other Jeffrey Maier scenario.
Google him when you’re too younger to keep in mind that controversial Derek Jeter house run within the 1996 American League Championship Sequence. This time, nevertheless, it wasn’t a Yankees fan who was attempting to assist the crew.

What momentarily gave the impression to be a go-ahead house run within the ninth inning was as a substitute dominated fan interference by the umpires. That put the go-ahead run on second base with two outs. Juan Soto was then deliberately walked, placing two on for Aaron Decide. Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen entered and bought Decide to pop as much as third and finish the inning.
The second harkened again to a second within the 1996 American League Champion Sequence, when the Yankees have been taking up the Baltimore Orioles. The Bombers have been down 4-3 within the backside of the eighth inning, when Derek Jeter hit an extended fly ball to proper discipline.
Maier, a 12-year-old boy, was within the entrance row and caught his glove out over the proper fielder and caught the ball, which ought to have been dominated fan interference. As a substitute, the umpire dominated it was not interference, and Jeter’s game-typing house run stood, a lot to the chagrin (and protest) of the Orioles.
