It's one thing for a fan to interfere on a play that works in favor of his team. It takes a special one to hinder the results of the club he cheers for.
His name isn't Steve Bartman, and this isn't playoff baseball, but one Toronto Blue Jays fan cost his club an out during the series opener of a pivotal three-game set against Tampa Bay.

Rays first baseman James Loney, a sure-handed defender, appeared to have a great shot at catching a Colby Rasmus' pop fly in foul territory, until this guy ensures the out by reaching over the wall for the grab.
Rasmus fouls out. Fan caught ball as Loney slid in front of 1B side wall. Umpire rules he'd have had a play. #BlueJays #MLB #Rays
