I noticed it. I remember clearly thinking at the time that no umpire would have the stones to call him out, nor call interference on the coach. Maybe they went to Carl's school of umpiring?
Regarding the subject of ignoring a minor miss on a home run, I agree with Carl. I also disagree with Carl on the same point. To see how I can agree and disagree at the same time, you will have to read Part IV of my new four part series scheduled for publication in November.
