For those familiar with the drama that unfolded last Friday in Game 1 of the World Series, Torres also came close to having a nervous breakdown. another game with fans.

In the first game, Torres sent the ball toward left-center field, possibly heading toward the wall. However, a fan in a gray Dodgers jersey held out his glove, essentially catching a live ball.

A rare and strange play prompted the on-field umpires to keep Torres at second rather than allow him to round all four bases for a home run. The Dodgers won this game 6-3 in extra innings.

However, other postseason games with fans and lack of calls in the past have had consequences for the teams involved. One of the more infamous plays was the “Jeffrey Maier incident” in 1996, when a 12-year-old fan dragged a live ball from a Baltimore Orioles outfielder into the stands, helping the Yankees in the process. The umpires at the game did not rule that the play was fan interference, awarding Derek Jeter a home run on the hit. The Yankees ultimately won this series against the Orioles.

“That was a home run, guys,” Jeter jokingly said of the game during an October 2024 MLB game on FOX.
