Houston – The fan grabbed the baseball from Mike Troutgloves behind Los Angeles Angels The star reached into the right field stands on Saturday evening to make what looked like a great catch against Houston Astros.
Trout raced into the corner of the right field on the fly Yainer Diaz In the second shift Angels’ 4-1 victoryHe jumped and pulled his left arm into the stands to catch. But the fan wearing the Astros jersey also reached for the ball at the same time.
At the same time, the ball seemed to look at the fan while the trout made a catch. The fan immediately grabbed the ball from the trout glove with its left hand.
The trout strongly gestured to the referee that the fan had pulled it out of his glove. The fan then looked as if he was trying to put the ball back to the trout, raised both arms while holding the ball in his right hand.
“I jumped, it was in my glove and the guy literally pulled it out,” Trout said. “He was really apologetic. Every day I learn new things. As soon as I go to the stands, it’s a free game. Being on Wednesday is a little different because I really can’t get the game.”
Athletic announced that the name of the fan was Jared Whalen, and Outlet spoke to him after the game.
“I just didn’t know what was going on,” Whalen Athletic said. “I didn’t realize it was a game. It came on my son’s face. I just got out.”
The trout that hit the two-run in the first one this season moved from the middle field to the right field to reduce the wear of his body and help him stay in the field.
The first base of the referee Alan Porter decided it as a foul and not to catch. Angels Manager Ron Washington came out to discuss the game with the judges, but the decision was worth and was not reviewed by repetition.
“He said it didn’t matter,” Trout said about what Porter told him. “As soon as your gloves pass into the racks, it’s a fair game. And if they hit their finger or the ball hits their hand, I think it’s rule.
Washington said he was told that he could attack the game, but did not want to risk that he would lose his challenge at that time.
“I thought it had it and we looked at it,” Washington said. “It seemed that the fan pulled it out of his glove when he came out, but I would have to use the challenge. And if the referee did not do it, I would lose it soon.”
Porter, who is the head of the crew, told the reporter the pool that the game was controllable, but is also a decision.
“My stalls were in the stalls – it wasn’t above the game,” Porter said. “Once the ball is off the field, in the field goes to the stalls at its own risk. So the ball that the fan touches is not created at that moment.”
Whalen and his son were accompanied from the Security Section and moved to another section. The trout was supposed to bring the fan and his son down to Angels Clubhouse after the game. In an exchange that was published on social media athleticThe trout gave the fans a bat and signed the ball. He also took a picture with a fan and his son.
“They were really apologetic,” Trout said. “It really didn’t affect the game. I have a child alone. That baby was about 9 years old, so I saw him after the game, they were really nice people.”
Diaz eventually flew to the center to end the shift.
The game resembled the game 4 from last year’s World series, when two fans interfered with him and one overtaken from Dodgers. Mookie Betts at the Yankee stadium. However, the referees decided that it was the disturbance of the fans and the catch Betts.
