What would you have called it? |
Apparently it went over the fence, hit something and bounced back. The Centerfielder knew it was a HR.

OK SA, go to the store on umpire.org. Buy the MLBUM. Open it to page 88. Read section 8.10

Most people I know have jobs and support their families. Some are actually finacially able from time to time to purchase materials that give them a leg up as to knowing the rules and their interps better. Thus, they find a way such as using a game fee or two to purchase these materials.
I don't think anyone is making a killing working baseball as an umpire. They simply have a thrist for knowledge and want to be the best they can be. |

The BRD's probably the closest to what you ask. It's $30. Buy one every couple of years. $15/year doesn't require financial independence or riches. |

I'm assuming it is acceptable to expect umpires to afford a rulebook. |
It is free online
