“From Rivalry to Redemption: Mike Trout’s Unexpected Encounter with the Astros Fan Who Snatched Victory from His Grasp!”
“I was more looking at the ball coming for my son’s face,” Whalen said. “I made sure I wasn’t in the field of play … I apologized, and (Trout) nodded his head, and we’re good, I think.”
Trout made peace with Whalen after the game, giving him and his son some memorabilia, including a bat, and saying he appreciated his apologetic gesture right after the play.
That aftermath is fairly different from what happened following the Betts incident.

As many baseball fans will remember, that play transformed into a larger debate about player safety. In that case, MLB requested the Yankees ban the two fans from Game 5 of the World Series, and the pair was banned from all ballparks indefinitely months later.
