Yeah, or at the very worst, a double...

Did the rulebook state anything that would support that being called a double or an out? You'd be either making a call based on the assumption that he would have caught it, or calling a fly ball that didn't ever touch the wall or ground a double.

Spectator interference

 

When a spectator or other person not associated with one of the teams (including such staff as bat boys or ball girls) alters play in progress, it is spectator interference, colloquially called fan interference. It is worth noting that the latter is also (incorrectly) used to refer to fan obstruction - for instance a spectator running onto the field and tackling a baserunner. The ball becomes dead, and the umpire will award any bases or charge any outs that, in his judgment, would have occurred without the interference

Did not know this. Thanks for the info.

Kuroda has to be our pickup of the year.. guys like Ibanez, Rapada, Ichiro (deadline) have to get consideration, but Hiroki was lights out all year and was a pretty solid guy in that rotation through all the injuries and inconsistencies going on around him. Finishes with a 3.32 ERA in the AL East and a small ballpark, minimum of 3.6 WAR (24th in MLB).. pretty awesome.
