The fan was escorted from Turner Field, but he might have made an innocent mistake. According to stadium personnel, the fan was a foreigner who was attending his first baseball game.
He had seen fans throwing home run balls back on the field, so when he caught Wood's foul ball in back of home, he threw it back on the field. | |
