A young Arizona Diamondbacks fan ended up in some hot water on Friday when he appeared to steal away a ball from Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer with his own glove.

Diamondbacks outfielder Tommy Pham drove a ball to deep left field. Steer had a play on it, but the ball was taken away. The umpires initially called it a home run, but a video review called Pham out for fan’s interference.

Fans at Chase Field initially chanted "MVP!" at the child but then booed the call once it was overturned. The young boy was later moved to a different section.
