message: why spectator interference instead of fan interference?
Because you don't have to be a fan to watch a baseball match. Jamee999 12:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: Is there any rule for noise itself? Football has such a rule, but I'm wondering if something like the 1975 World Series incident would get a similar response now or not. 018 (talk) 15:15, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  spectator noise? 

message: The example is a Little League Minor AAA game. There is one baserunner on second. Ball four was called. When the catcher attempted to throw to SS, the batter(now a baserunner) crossed the plate and collided with the catcher, knocking the ball out of his hand. The batter-turned-baserunner was called out for interference and the other runner returned to second.
The rules are clear that it's not obstruction (or interference!) on the catcher's part, the batter-turned-baserunner interfered with the catchers play to SS. If the batter was still a batter, then it doesn't matter if the interference was intentional. However, once ball four is called, the batter becomes a runner, and it's the runner's responsibility to avoid a collision. My question is this: if the collision is UNINTENTIONAL, then is it still interference? Once the batter becomes a baserunner, is any interference is assumed to be intentional?(even in Little League, or especially in Little League?)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kasmicb (talk • contribs) 16:00, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: There is plenty of media coverage available for proper sources. https://twitter.com/BuzzFeedSports/status/387718432394723329/photo/1 shows that there is a concrete lip between the base of the railing and the wall in play. http://cmsimg.detnews.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=C3&Date=20131008&Category=SPORTS0104&ArtNo=310080126&Ref=AR&MaxW=300&Border=0&Meet-Tigers-fans-who-might-ve-helped-save-season shows the height separation from the field. POV will no doubt lead to a synthesis, therefore we should solely rely on articles that are objective about what happened. MMetro (talk) 07:04, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

message: YouTube video 'Encarnacion interferes, Navarro ends up safe'. I can't post the URL because YouTube is apparently blocked by a spam filter. The runner's out, that's not in dispute, BUT where in http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/runner_7.jsp does it say about the batter-runner being awarded first base? I can't see it. Is it in another section of the rules, and if so, which one? Or is it just a 'de facto' rule that umpires follow which is not actually written down anywhere.

thread_title:  Specific example I can't find in the rules 

message: This section includes examples of bat/ball persons interfering with play, but they are not spectators.  They are authorized to be on the field and the ball is still live if the interference is unintentional.  See MLB Rule 6.01(d).  Graywh (talk) 21:34, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spectator Interference 

message: This section is for instances where spectator interference was (controversially) not called, right? If so, wouldn't the last two bullet points under this section not be applicable here? Eliyili00 (talk) 22:43, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
