Dempster's second hanging slider.

But I wish the fans would keep their hands to themselves. You would think, of all the teams in MLB, our fans would understand that none of us watch the games to watch a stupid fan mess with a ball in play.

It is normal for fans

to go for the ball. Yeah it sucks when it hurts us but it is a natural reaction.

Though this time

they really didn’t do anything wrong. It just bounced off the dude’s stone hands in the front row, and rebounded back onto the field.

I know that's what people say...

that it’s a natural reaction. But really, what are you going to do with that ball after you get it? What’s the big deal? I can understand if you are far away from the field of play. But if you are close, how about letting the game take it’s course?
