Artie and Gary got into a debate as to what a ground rule double was. Artie defined a ground rule double as a hit that a fan interferes with by touching it. Embarrassingly, he missed the most common example of a ground rule double....when the ball actually, you know, touches the ground before it goes into the crowd. Also, the umpire has the discretion to award any amount of bases (or outs) when a fan interferes with the ball. It just so happens that the umpire usually awards a double.
The only double that artie should stick to is a jack and water.
