Umps reverse foul/fair call in Friday’s A’s/Royals game...

I don't have a rulebook in front of me, but most codes have some sort of verbage that states runners may be placed on bases, outs may be assessed or erased which put a team at a disadvantage in the event an umpires' decision is changed.

We are not talking about a situation where any change is made, we are talking about a play that stops everything like a foul call. And at least the NF says that once a ball is called foul, you cannot take it back. I cannot off the bat speak for the other codes at this time. And other than this situation I have never heard anyone consider this kind of play to be up for debate even if it was wrong. This takes that power too far in my opinion.
