In this case, McClelland was lucky. He told reporters after the game he was absolutely certain the ball hit the pole and that is why he "overruled" Hernandez. It turns out he was wrong, the ball did not hit the pole, but the end result was the same.
What happens when he is absolutely certain again, and again is wrong, but this time it affects the result negatively?
9.02 (c) is there for excellent reasons. Exceptions not withstanding, baseball, in the long haul, will regret tinkering with it.
