The pizza incident in Boston provides a great example of something I talk about in the book: the fielder has no right to a ball in the stands, so home crowds should prevent visiting fielders from catching fouls. Here, you see that Garret Anderson has a play on the ball but the Sox fans, going for the ball, stop him from making the catch — and it’s correctly not called fan interference.
And then the fun starts.

was he trying to hit anderson, the left fielder. Anderson was in the line, but then it looked like another fan blocked the line to anderson, so as the thrower was trying to hold up, he might have shanked his throw.
