Interesting stuff happening to the Mariners in Seattle yesterday. First, infielder Brendan Ryan makes it all the way to third on an infield hit, and then this play:
Seattle Mariners second baseman Dustin Ackley hit a fair ball down the first base line and past Oakland A's first baseman Conor Jackson in the bottom of the third inning. The ball was rolling slowly in foul territory but was still live and was good enough to be a triple. Unfortunately, a hometown Seattle Mariners fan sitting in the front row reached over the railing from his seat and grabbed a baseball off the field, turning the play into a ground rule double.
Interestingly enough, the fan was wearing an Ichiro Susuki jersey and bears a striking resemblance to Ichiro, but that's neither here nor there. The fan felt bad about what he had done, but unfortunately it was too late, and he was asked to leave the game by stadium security because of his interference.
