It's OK to admit when you're wrong.
What am I wrong about? The umpires made the right call in my opinion (and I did not hear the league say otherwise). And nothing you have said contradicts the play or the ruling on this play. The ball was not touched in live ball territory. And the point Bob seemed to be making, is that you cannot make a call without where the ball is about to land. This was no different than the “Bartman” play but this was for a home run, not a foul ball and a possible out.

Did you actually see the play?

Peace
