That said, what if you saw something different? What makes one opinion "better" than the other? Sometimes there is a reason -- angle, being blocked out, closer, etc. You (the crew) need to decide whether the reson the opinions differ is sufficient to not go with the opinion of the guy who has responsibility for the call.

Bob,
When the PU came out to discuss the play, he initiated the conversation by saying he thought the ball hit the tree. He did ask if I got a look and I did wonder what would have happened if I saw the ball bounce into the deadball area. Even though it was not my call, I think I had a better angle to make the call and was closer. Undoubtedly the fact that the PU and I both agreed that the ball was a homerun helped prevent some of the arguement.
