I agree with your first sentence. But I take umbrage (I do get bonus points for using this word, right?) at the idea, espoused by most in the media, any or all other fans would have done the same. I consider myself a very knowledgable and aware fan. Not only would I not have reached for that ball, because I would have looked around to see if any fielder was making a play for it, I probably would have held my arms out to try to shield others from the ball.
