Anyone see the "play?" I'm not sure the call on the field was correct, the the review call was. Not enough evidence to confirm or reverse.

From this article -->Red Sox win marathon Game 4 to near World Series berth

No interference shall be allowed is really vague.

You are speaking of the Altuve HR take away? Yeah that was an interesting call. I guess the replay folks in NY considered the fly ball "catchable" and why they issued the interference call.

It looks to me like it would have gone into the glove, but the fan hit his glove enough just to close it and prevent the catch.
Had to look at the replay. Missed it real time. Yes looked "catchable."

Yeah.

Here's a slow motion clip. At 1:04 is a good shot. It looks like it was the guy in the slate blue shirt, not the guy in orange.

wow. I dunno, but it seems there is legitimate grounds for fan interference. It could have been any or all of THREE DIFFERENT fans whose hands could have hit Mookie's glove. He didn't jump up to make a catch and close his glove on his own.
Fans' hand(s) closed it. I have watched replays and replays, and still think it is close to a toss-up.
One way robs Altuve of a game-tying homer, the other way robs Betts of a game-saving catch.
The fans were definitely NOT scrambling to get out of the way as in Dodgers/Brewers game -- they were scrambling to touch the ball/glove -- in that one or more succeeded, and interfered.

Although I WANTED the Astros to return to World Series; I don't think they can come back down 3-1. Boston has been out-playing them all the way.
So I am resigned to Astros losing the American league series.
Not much consolation that Houston fans can whine that "Altuve got robbed of a 2-run homer".
I really feel that the call was correct.

The review call was definitely correct. There was not anything to support that the call was correct or not. Hence the call stands. If it was ruled a home run on the field, the review would(should) have come to the same conclusion.
