I'm with you. I think it's likely that ground rules specific to the WS configuration of the stadium (including each overhanging camera) were very thorough and carefully written.

IF true, then it should have been a pretty easy call for the ump down the line. I just hate it when replay changes a call, because it will inevitably be used to promote more extensive use of replay. Ick.

Note to baseball stadium architects everywhere: Can you please design your freakin' stadiums in such a way that if the ball comes back on the field (other than off the foul pole), it's in play, and if it doesn't, it's a home run. It's not that hard.

Just watched Gerry's interview. Makes sense to me, and it explains why they came to their decision so fast. Fair enough.

So, what you're saying is the Minnesota baggie in the outfield should be a no go? (sarc)

If you ask me, the ball would have left the field of play over the fence for a home run had it not hit the camera.
