Yankees' Anthony Volpe Denied Home Run in ALDS Elimination Game

In Game 3 of the American League Division Series, the New York Yankees faced elimination against the Tampa Bay Rays. Anthony Volpe, a local player and lifelong Yankees fan, stepped up to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning with a runner on first and two outs, trailing by two runs.

After taking a ball, Volpe hit a high fly ball to left field that appeared to tie the game with a home run. However, following his round of the bases, the umpires convened for a crew chief review. The replay revealed that a fan had interfered by reaching over the wall to touch the ball before it fell into the stands, leading to the home run being overturned.
