Of course, if your an play by play guy or sports writer, then it is fact because, they know it all.
I've seen a couple of these (not THIS one, of course) where the umpires get together, and the only one talking is the crew chief - who then makes the call himself (as opposed to what the rest of us would do, and have the umpire that made the initial call make the new call - whether changed or not). It's obvious there have been crew-chief over-rulings a few times in the last couple of years.
