I'm a lifelong (60+) teetotaler - despite living all that time in Wisconsin, following the Brewers for most of my life, and being enrolled at, working for or affiliated with the UW System for almost as long.  I'm delighted there's another teetotaler on the roster.  We should be able to find him a better soft drink than Fanta for any subsequent celebrations. 😉🤞

ASO to Spectrum for choosing the overnight last night to do an upgrade in our area.  That had us listening to Jeff Levering on the radio for the end of the game, which was much better than any of the fox dudes anyway.

Uribe seemed to get a big kick out of his choice of beverage……lol

I am glad that that didn’t turn into a “Jeffrey Maier incident“ . That was a relatively easy catch for Mitchell, but a fan who had gone for his glove instead of the ball might have kept him from pulling it in  

If you didn’t see it, the Yankees had what was originally called a game tying home run changed to a fan interference double because a fan reached over the wall to pull in the ball. But the fielder was pretty apparently not going to make the catch.

I’d like to think that the umpires would have called fan interference if a fan had obstructed Mitchell. Calling that a home run would have made the roof incident look like nothing. Having low walls like that invites controversy.

Old time Brewers fans will remember the incident in game 3 against the Angels in 1982 when a fan reached over the bleacher rail and pulled in a ball that it looked like Ben Ogilvie was going to catch and turned it into a three run home run for the Angels. 

Yeah, in the NY-TB game it looked like the right call was made. As for Mitchell last night, I'm glad it didn't come to that because you never know.

We were in the LF bleachers in that '82 game, but several rows back so we didn't have as good a view as someone viewing from the grandstand or their living rooms. As we saw later, the ball never would've left on its' own. For history buffs, the HR was gifted to Bob Boone, Yankee MGR Aaron Boones' dad.

I guess It would cost a few HRs, but I'm no fan of the lower OF walls.
