From what I heard them say about Mike Reilly going to the crew "immediately", it sounded like he lost it, knew he had to make a call, no matter what it was, and dealt with it with his crew. Obviously this is all 100% speculation, but was the ball that close to being foul? And did Reilly really go "immediately" to the crew for help, or did Jeter/Damon really have to talk him into it?

Willie was barking a lot from the dugout. One of the coaches got tossed.
Yes the ball was that close. It grazed the "foul" side of the foul pole a couple of inches above the fence.
Jeter made on very quick remark to Reilly and Reilly then immediately signaled the other crew members for a conference.
