Fan battles Damon for drive, helps turn it into HR

Johnny Damon felt the ball going into his glove as he leaped above the leftfield wall in an attempt to grab Cesar Izturis ' drive.

Stop with the Jeffrey Maier crap. The Oriole fan's hand never entered the field of play--no fan interference. End of story. Even the biggest Yankee shill of them all, John Sterling, watched the replays from all the different angles and was forced to conclude that the umpire made the correct call.

What comes around goes around...as the saying goes. Haha. The fan did nothing wrong.

Doesnt Damon look like a woman in reverse drag?

Thank you!

I thought there would be an article talking about CC going into a wind up with a man on 1B... but then that would mean actually talking about the GAME...

I guess you all of your tv's must have been broken, and you were listening on the radio. That fans arm was in the field of play at least up to his elbow.

Damon bobbled and lost the ball - saw it over and over - there was NO fan interference.
