And even then he had to throw his glove in the air, but he caught the ball on the fly and the umpire on the scene immediately called the batter OUT! . .

Also, you see all the time fielders reaching into the stands to catch foul balls for outs. It doesn't matter where it's hit, if a player runs out the gate, up the stairs down a tunnel and catches a hit ball on the fly, you're OUT!
This. A million times this! I need to watch that tonight.
