I can see why an outfield umpire wouldn't have the best view on this play. He's looking up into the lights, looking way up into the upper deck, and he's simply too close to get a great angle on that.
However, there were two umpires pointing foul -- U9 AND U1.
I have no problems with getting this call right. None. But what difference would it have made had the Boston manager gone to Hernandez, Hernandez enlists the help of U1 and U2 and the PU. they talk about it, and Hernandez comes out and signals the home run?
Like I said in the other thread, how would this discussion play out today if the ball was, indeed, six inches foul?
