There have been plenty of instances with ball boys or ball girls interfering with live balls. Often times it’s a ball that is ruled fair and they think it is foul and so they pick it up and toss it into the stands. Never have I ever seen a ball boy interfere with a player trying to make a catch.
On Friday night, a Kansas City Royals ball boy interfered with Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Rajai Davis’ catch; pretty convenient that the ball boy messed up the opponent. Too bad for the Royals it didn’t matter and they were obliterated 8-4.
