Controversial MLB Interference Call

Stay tune for a whacky 4th inning play in the Braves/Pirates game. Braves Chipper Jones ran/leaped over the Pirates' Jose Bautista just after Bautista fielded the ball on the baseline near 3B. The umpires ruled that the fielder has fielded the ball cleanly. As Bautista was clobbered, he went down to the ground and never raised his glove to tag out Jones. Chipper made no effort to run around F5, landed hard on top of the bag and was later ruled safe. The Pirates skipper managed to stay in the game after the call against the Pirates. WOW. Pirates scored in the following half-inning to take a 0-1 lead, but lost the game 4-1.

Edited to add a salute to Bobby Cox who tied {Sparky} Anderson for fourth in all-time managerial wins, 2,194th.
