I agree with Sally, bkbjones, and others here - those were strikes through and through.
Since when do we as umpires listen to what everyone at the park says? If that's the case, the next time a fly ball is over foul territory when the ball is touched but not caught by the defender who is in fair territory then its a fair ball. At least that's what the majority at the park will be screaming!

Or the next time they yell the hands are part of the bat.

There's a lot they yell about that they are wrong about. We shouldn't base on judgements on what they yell about it.
