Does that count as fan interference? The fan can't exactly just let the ball hit them in the gut, should be a homerun I think.

Betts would have caught that without the fan

 

Perhaps, but was the fan reaching into the field of play or was Betts over the fence into the crowd? That's a huuuuuge part of that ruling.

 

If Betts' arm and glove were over the fence and into the crowd and the fans didn't reach into the field of play then the call was absolutely wrong.

 

Second, there's no way Joe West can see whether that's the case from his angle, so he's just guessing. Had the call on the field been a home run, there's no way that call would have been overturned either

His glove definitely was into the crowd from the looks of it.

It's hard to say without a side angle shot, but that's how it looked to me too.

I’m no fan of Joe West, but based on that pic, hard to tell if Betts is reaching in or the fans are reaching out. It’s 50/50.

That's the problem with 2 dimensional images, no depth.

 

The side view they had from the game was completely obstructed by a security guard

No way. The pic I saw Betts was clearly outside the area of play. No fans were reaching out.
