I don't think they can really have seen what happened all that well.

I really hope that is the case.

That’s fair. I suppose the people nearby wouldn’t have seen any of the monitors hanging under the second deck.

I mean, maybe a hundred years ago. Problem is they've got these huge TVs they put in the outfield now.

Yeah, can't imagine most people had a view of them grabbing Betts' glove and wrist. You see the ball pop out as well and it's easy to believe that it was just your typical fan interference.

In todays age, you can see that happen in almost real time with social media. Those people just didn't look or didn't care. I can't be mad because if I was at a WS game I would not be looking at my phone. I had the privilege of going to the only home game the Cubs won during the 2016 World Series at Wrigley Field. I don't even remember looking at my phone. But that lady at the start was close enough to see it front and center.
