And, I think, ultimately wrong about the rule as written (though obviously right as enforced).
The rule says it's limited to home runs and whether there was fan interference with a home run. At the point West determined there was no fan interference with a home run, his authority to use IR ends under the rule.
Baseball needs to decide if it wants to have its cake or eat it. Doing both simply isn't working out.
