An Arizona Diamondbacks fan made waves during a recent matchup against the San Francisco Giants. He was ejected from the matchup after a case of interference.
The fan reached out to swipe a home run from the grasps of an outfielder. It was an instance that’s become all too common at Chase Field.
In fact, social media sleuths determined that it’s happened four years in a row. They dug up footage of five separate occasions in which this same fan has been at the center of an umpire review.
The most recent incident occurred on a potential home run shot by Giants second baseman Christian Koss. Had it left the park, it would’ve tied the game in the eighth inning of play. Instead, the fan’s actions resulted in the play being ruled a double to preserve the Diamondbacks’ lead.

The fan was ejected from the contest after the interference. He was then informed that his tickets had been revoked for the remainder of the 2025 season. Now, he’s speaking out.
Diamondbacks fan defends himself amid controversy.
The fan, Dave McCaskill, took part in multiple interviews after the viral interference call. He’d hoped to tell his side of the story while begging Arizona for mercy.

He refers to himself as a Diamondbacks fan, saying he’d never do anything to hurt the team. That claim comes after being caught on camera grabbing a potential game-tying home run over the outstretched glove of an Arizona outfielder.
He also admitted to being ejected on three different occasions, though he doesn’t consider one dismissal a true ejection because he was simply relocated to another section.
McCaskill attempted to defend himself. He also asked for forgiveness but failed to show remorse for his actions.

He’s been banned from all Diamondbacks games for the rest of the 2025 season.

“The ball was hit. I looked to my left,” he recalled of his latest transgression. “I feel like I’m a little bit athletic. I played a little ball in college. I thought there was a shot right down the line. I thought it was safe, just reading the ball like an outfielder would… My glove was above the line. I didn’t go out.”
Not only did he say that he’s been involved in more reviews than initially believed (9 or 10), but he also mentioned that he keeps tabs on home run balls caught in a friendly competition with buddies in his section.
McCaskill wants to be the victim in this case. The Diamondbacks probably won’t see it the same way. For now, he’s unable to return to Chase Field in 2025. The door is still open to come back in the ’26 campaign.
