I saw Aaron Judge when he made a catch in the exact same place in this Yankee Stadium and a whole lot of fans did just like Jeff Maier and lean over the fence.
I'm a Reds fan 0 dog in this fight for the media to put him on tv is a disgrace embarrassing the kid interfered. What your doing is promoting all kinds of people to go to the game & interfer, this kid & his parents who took him to that game are tool bags it's to bad he wasn't surrounded by a bunch of O's fans that could have tossed his ass over the fence.
The fact that this celebrated by people & media is awful. The kid should have been tossed just like his parents who brought him to the game. Fan Interference is illegal by celebrating this & sending Jim Gray the jerk to interview him your basically inviting other fans to do that.
@@jackmcmullen539 The Orioles won Game 2, you can't claim that the momentum sided with the Yankees when this should put a stop to that, not to mention I seriously doubt Game 1 was the reason why the Orioles blew a late inning leading in Game 3. Plus the Yankees lost the opener to the Rangers and the Braves, did that stop them? Edit: Same goes for that loser Tatum.
Funny how Steve Bartman gets roasted by Cubs fans & is apologetic for it, but not this kid for doing the exact same thing, & having no remorse for it. Where has this country's morals gone?
Cub fans were wrong because Bartman had nothing to be apologetic about. The Cubs blew that game just like the Orioles ultimately lost this ALCS not because of this incident but the true turning point was Todd Zeile's pump fake that went awry in Game 3. In the 8th inning of Game 3, the Orioles were four outs away from going up 2-1 in the series and facing the worst pitcher in the Yankee rotation the next day, Kenny Rogers. They had more than proved they'd bounced back from Game 1. (which is why the O's fans who think it all ended with this game need to have their memories refreshed about what happened next).
He was the most hated non-sports figure in Baltimore History... UNTIL! Taylor Swift took that honor away from him during the 2023 AFC Championship Game. That incident by Maier was to me baseball's version of the Tuck Rule. Because this was what started the Yankee Dynasty under Joe Torre, and what ushered the Orioles straight into the gutter as the punching bag of the American League, FOR 15 YEARS! (Just like the Tuck Rule launched the Patriots Dynasty and sunk the Raiders.)
That’s what he says lying punk kid he knew what he was doing when I was 12 I knew not to reach into the field of play at any sports event that kid should not have been treated like a hero he should have been called out for being a cheater
Made a hero out of a kid that cheated the Orioles out of a World Series appearance. The word cheated is the key. I’m not a Orioles fan but I was a baseball fan. Things like this was going on to much in favor of the Yankees. Like Reggie Jackson interference by leaning into a throw from I think Davy Lopes (second) to Steve Garvey at first. I was watching it live and could see he did it intentionally. But again it is the Yankees!
The Orioles were cheated out of nothing. They won the next game to even the series up (had they won Game 1 they probably don't win Game 2 because Rivera couldn't pitch). Then in Game 3 they were four outs from going up 2-1 in the series and getting set to face the Yankees worst pitcher in Kenny Rogers in Game 4. A rally in the 8th and a boneheaded play by Todd Zeile was what shifted the momentum of the Series for good in the Yankees favor, not this incident. Those are the facts. The Orioles were simply not a World Series worthy team because they were mostly a group of overaged me-first players who kept constantly sniping and undermining Davey Johnson (Ripken in particular demonstrated how self-centered a player he was that year too).
@@epaddon typical Yankees fan delusional and dumb you can’t say anything that isn’t biased cause you are Yankees fan of course you don’t think it changed anything but it did the O’s would have been up 2-0 in the series and the Yankees wouldn’t have had any momentum maybe listen to non biased people who aren’t orioles or Yankees fans
@@Maddenmvp_yt The Orioles lost in 5 games bud and they had done themselves no favor by getting swept at Camden. If they couldn't even push the series to 6 games, they lost the benefit of doubt that could have been given to them. If there was a momentum change it would be game 3 when your guys blew a late inning lead in the 8th.
@@iamhungey12345 bro you realize this was game 1 the orioles won game 2 if Jeffrey doesn’t rob the orioles of an out the O’s win game 1 as well you can’t tell me the series would have played out exactly the same if the O’s were up 2-0 and had all the momentum it changed everything just say you are a Yankees fan bum
@@iamhungey12345 you know damn well if Jeffrey was an orioles fan and reached into the field of play to catch a ball hit by an oriole you scumbag Yankees fans would have been pissed and would have wanted that kid kicked and crucified just cause it went in the Yankees favor he was treated as a hero truly disgusting
Nonsense. The Orioles bounced back and won Game 2 and were four outs away from going up 2 games to 1 in Game 3 where they'd be then facing in Game 4 the worst pitcher on the Yankee staff in Kenny Rogers. But an ill-considered pump fake by Todd Zeile is what caused the go-ahead run to score and provide the true momentum changer of the series which wasn't this moment in Game 1. O's fans should be blaming Zeile for why they lost the ALCS and not Rich Garcia.
I’m not a Yankee fan but I can’t believe those assholes that tried to snag the ball away from the kid didn’t give him the ball. They just went for the ball like he wasn’t even there.
I can’t believe this punk little kid was treated as a hero for interfering in the game you do know what happens to adults who interfere they get ejected this kid was clearly old enough to know right from wrong
@@Maddenmvp_ytyou're so right, and as a Red Sox fan, what a disgrace it was for the city of NY to make him out as a hero. Maier should have been thrown out of the game and Jeter would have been awarded a single or a double. Orioles were totally screwed.
He was focused on the ball not the kid at the top of the wall above him so how could he have made an attempt to take it from the fan when he probably didn't know he was going to obstruct him catching it? And he didn't jump because he wouldn't have had to in order to catch it.
It wasn't a hairpiece, he was doing a combover in those days of growing one side long and then combing it over on top of the bald area to create the illusion of still having a full head of hair.
