HR Call Overturned due to Fan interference & Boone Gets Ejected, a breakdown

In a critical late-game situation, the New York Yankees are trailing by one run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Star slugger Aaron Judge steps up to the plate, with the chance to tie or even win the game for the Yankees with one swing of the bat. As Judge connects with the pitch, the ball sails high into the air, heading towards the right field seats. A fan in the stands reaches out and makes contact with the ball, potentially altering its trajectory. The umpires immediately call for a video replay review to determine if there was fan interference on the play. After a lengthy review, the umpires rule that the fan did in fact interfere with the play and they call Judge out, negating what would have been a go-ahead home run for the Yankees. Yankees manager Aaron Boone erupts in anger at the umpires' decision, arguing vehemently that the fan's interference did not prevent Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner from making a catch. Boone contends that Gardner had no chance of catching the ball, which was well over his head and that the umpires made the wrong call in ruling Judge out. "Fuck, he would not have caught that," Boone shouts at the umpiring crew. "He's two feet high in the air, the ball's in there - how are you going to assume he catches that?" Boone is eventually ejected from the game for his outburst, but not before making his frustration with the call crystal clear. The Yankees and their fans are left stunned, as a potential game-tying or game-winning home run has been taken off the board due to fan interference. The replay shows that the ball was indeed well over Gardner's head, making it highly unlikely that he would have been able to make the catch, even without the fan's intervention. This critical call in the late innings has massive implications for the outcome of the game, as the Yankees now trail by one run with their final at-bats remaining. The team and their supporters are left wondering what might have been, had the umpires ruled differently on the pivotal fan interference play.
