Warren, being newer than you to these boards I may have missed these 5 reversible items referenced. Could you take the time to explain these. If not, please feel free to email me if you would. Thanks.

Bfair from the Eteamz Board here is Papa C's FAB 5.
Five calls can be legally changed, according to rules and custom:
1. Two umpires make opposite calls on the same play;
2. An umpire misinterprets a rule;
3. A half swing called a ball is changed to a strike on "appeal";
4. After a tag, another umpire sees the ball on the ground; and
5. A fair/foul home run/double is reversed after consultation in/among the crew.
