2024 World Series Game 1: Fan interference changed Torres' deep fly ball to a double, not a home run, in the 9th inning.

The incident occurred in the ninth inning with the score tied 2-2, but did not affect the game's outcome, as the Yankees failed to score. The situation recalled the infamous 1996 Jeffrey Maier incident, highlighting the impact of fan behavior in baseball.
