Not so fast.

I have witnessed, first hand, two instances at the ML level in which foul calls were changed to fair. One was changed by the same umpire who made the foul call and one was the result of a huddle. The "get the call right" crowd has run amok. Neither invovled a question of H/R v. foul, which would add additional occurances.

The first instance, by Bruce F. on a shot down the LF line resulted in R2 being tagged out half way between second and third and an ejection.

Now then, about FED.....
