Fan Interference

Dude ripped the ball out of Trout's glove.





Same dude?

Haha. They do look alike.

The case with the Trout situation is the ball was actually in the stands as Trout was reaching for it while the Yankees situation was a fan reaching into the field of play.

Apparently, there are different rules involving a ball that is the crowd and thus the reason interference was not called on the Trout play.

Also, as I have read it, Trout actually met with the fan after the game and autographed the ball for his kid.
