Why the hell would you interfere with a fair ball hit by the team you are supporting? All you risk is getting kicked out of the stadium and possibly taking away a base or run from your team.
This just happened in the Angels/Sox game. There was a runner at 1nd I believe then Chone Figgins or whatever his name is hits a rope to the right field corner, then the 'fan' reaches over and catches the ball on a hop. So they initially stop the runner at 3rd. The umps got together and awarded the runner with home.(the right call)
As many stupid umpiring mistakes that have happened in these playoffs why leave a decision like that to the umps?
