HOUSTON – The Astros supporter, who was found to be the victim of interference in the return leg of Jose Altuve during the first leg of the fourth match of the ALCS, called the decision "of the worst decision "that he has ever seen as a sports fan.
Troy Caldwell, a longtime fan of the Astros, was called for fan interference after being in contact with Mookie Betts on Altuve's long ball. A home run would have created the 2-2 tie.
"(Betts) came," said Caldwell. "I was (on the side of) the line.I do not even understand what happened.I was (on the side of) the line and I had my hands out. I have 800 photos that have already arrived (at my I'm (on my side), I reached out and the ball touched me, I never touched his glove.) I do not understand why they said it was not a homerun. "
Caldwell was not ejected from Minute Maid Park, but was warned by stadium security. He said his phone explodes with text messages and Facebook messages from people who have recognized him on TV.
Asked about referee Joe West, who ruled that the game was an interference, Caldwell was succinct.
"I do not think it's appropriate for newspapers," he said.
"That bullet was gone, no matter the problem," he added. "My hand was not on the yellow, my hand was right here and she touched me, so it was a homerun at home, whatever happened."
Caldwell hoped that his involvement in the game would not change the outcome of the fourth decisive game for his Astros.
"As long as the Astros come back and win that, everything will be fine," he said. "Otherwise, I need security to escort me out of this place so I will not be attacked."
