In San Francisco on Tuesday night, a fan leaned over a railing in foul territory to make a nice catch of a foul ball with his glove. One problem - the fan interfered with Giants right fielder Cody Ross by reaching into the field of play, and as every fan SHOULD know, that is an automatic ejection from the game.
It happened in the top of the seventh inning in Tuesday night's Giants game as they hosted the San Diego Padres. Cody Ross chased a pop fly down the right field line, figuring he had an easy catch in the narrow section of foul territory by the right field stands. However, the ball was snatched up by a fan with a glove who reached over the railing into the field of play.
Fortunately this did not cost the Giants, as the Padres batter struck out on the next pitch. However, the fan was asked to leave the game for violating the rules. As the video shows, the fan was sitting in the front row where a sign on the railing only 10 feet away clearly states "Interference with baseballs in play will result in EJECTION FROM THE BALLPARK".
It pays to read the signs and know the rules, people.
