An overzealous Colorado Rockies fan nearly cost his team a win on Sunday in Denver by interfering with a Seattle Mariners outfielder on a would-be walk-off in the bottom of the ninth. With two outs and the bases empty in the bottom of the ninth, Colorado's Jacob Stallings hit a drive to deep left field that was initially ruled a double, but initially appeared to be a home run. But, after a replay review, it was determined the ball deflected off the glove of a fan reaching over the wall, interfering with the outstretched arm of Seattle left fielder Jonatan Clase. As a result, Stallings was ruled out and the game went to extra innings. The play ignited an immediate debate online, where fans were split over the interference call.
