If a decision is appealed, the umpire making the decision may ask another umpire for information before making a final decision. No umpire shall criticize, seek to reverse or interfere with another umpire's decision unless asked to do so by the umpire making it.
Could I assume that you got this from the hard copy of the MLB rule book? I didn't see this from the MLB site, and if this is the case, I retract part of my earlier post. McClelland was wrong for overruling the call, I admit. But I still stand by my thinking of getting the call correct no matter what. Again, not trying to be argumentative and I do not claim to be an MLB Umpire.
