Pujols HR reviewed

[Larry1953]

The commentator I referred to was Jim Deshaies who works with Bill Brown on Houston TV.

MLB said that from now on, the ball has to clear the small concrete strip that the padding does not cover. Hard to say why it would ever have been deemed otherwise. If the same ball was hit today, it would be IN PLAY, as it should have been in the first place.

Which was it?

It was Deshaies who said that it was better to let the ball stay in play, knowing that if replay shows it was a HR, it is an easy matter just to send all runners home.
