though for adults the title "Douchebag" will be with them forever.

Running onto the field will cost you a lot in fines and legal representation, a likely life-time stadium ban, and possible jail time.

Penalties for running onto the field apparently are different according to state law (maybe local law too), so perhaps there are additional regional penalties applicable to fan interference.

Condolences on the passing of your spouse.

and would have fell onto the field if not caught by the fan....

Sorry, can't answer your question, but I don't think it changed the course of the game.

And I believe that was in Game two, not Game one.
