It took less than a week to come into play. 7/31 - Freese hits an identical shot to RCF. It was ruled in play. Review took less than a minute. Valentine et al remembered the Pujols HR but they still thought the ground rule at Busch was that ball hitting concrete rim was a HR.

Uh no, it (Freese's hit) hit the top of the pad. So it would have been in play regardless...
