Harrison Bader and the Yankees received what appears to be an absolute gift in the first inning of Wednesday’s game against the Athletics.
The gift came via a fan in the right field bleachers. With New York up 1–0 and runners on first and third, Bader hit a 1–1 pitch high and deep to right. Oakland right fielder JJ Bleday drifted back to the wall positioning his glove directly under the blast to make the catch.
However, a Yankees fan reached over the wall into the field of play, preventing Bleday from making the catch.
