Better safe than sorry. A pop fly in foul territory will tend to drift toward fair territory because of the spin on the ball. We don't know from PWL's play how close the dugouts were to the line. We don't know how old / skilled the players were. We don't know how much hyperbole there was in the original message. I seem to recall that one of the "authoritative sources" indicates that wind should be a consideration (but not a defining factor) in calling the infield fly. Sun shouldn't. :shrug:
