It was impossible to tell live. On replay, it was a very clear and obvious ground-rule double. The umpires got it right. The fan had nothing to do with it, it was stuck on top of the pad, the fan saw it sitting there, and just picked up his souvenir.

edit: oh and by the way, it has to go over that little fence to be a home run. Hitting that little fence isn't good enough.
