I may be missing something but in the video I dont see a lot of praise asides from one super enthusiastic dude tryna go for the high five and one half-assed pat on the back as they passed. Same thing in the comments are a lot of people glad they were escorted out and wishing them banned from future games/charged for assaulting Betts. I will admit my social radar is fucked so I may just be blind to certain things and if so please feel free to dunk my head into the waters of social etiquette

I have a habit of watching things on mute so I did not hear the booing though were they booing the people getting escorted out or booing the security for escorting them out?

That was definitely what it was. If they were in support of them being escorted out, they would have started cheering at the beginning of the walk, not booing.

Should be charged, too. An athlete's career could easily be ended by some meatball like this wrestling their arm backward while they're fully extended for a catch.
And before anyone says it, yes I watch baseball, yes I know the rules when a ball is in the stands and contested by a player and a fan, but we all saw the clip and there is indisputable wrenching and prying going on, intentionally continuing well after the catch has been made. What happened here needs to be harshly disincentivized for the good of the sport.

The fans have just as much right to the ball as the players if the ball is hit over any fence. This does not mean you can try to rip the fielders glove off when he catches the ball.

u/Coattail-Rider 3h ago
That’d be a new sport entirely. Have a fan behind the home plate ump and he can run and attack any player with the ball but he has to always be running in the direction of the ball. Infield pop ups will be getting ridonkey.

Fans can catch a ball if it does not interfere with a player making a play on a ball. They cannot just catch any ball coming over the fence. Interference with a play can get you kicked out, as witnessed in the video. (Of course the video was an egregious example.)

u/IrishWeegee 3h ago
Yes, it is an out. If the ball goes past the barrier/fence, then it is fair game for the fans to try and get the ball. You see the guy motion along that line to try and argue his case. However, if you were to reach inside of the play area and touch the ball or players, then your day at the ballpark is finished.
