With fans back in the stands during the 2021 MLB season, we've seen the return of one of baseball's most unique traditions: fans interacting with outfielders while they're playing in the field. However, as fun as these interactions can be, there are times that the dynamic turns dangerous, like the incident this year where a fan threw a baseball at Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo. Today, we're joined by The Athletic's Eno Sarris to discuss why these interactions are a double-edged sword, and whether they should ultimately be a part of the game.
