How would you score it?

This is one of those weird, rare cases where if an umpire DOESN'T see something happen, it can be an out. Most other plays, it's the other way around.

I vote four base error.

Generally, I have found that I'm only able to rule on what I see. If I see the contact, it's a 4-base award, and NOT a home run. If I don't ... well, it's gotta be a home run.

There's no way for us to accurate make the call from the keyboard. You have to see it in real life (which is the situation for a lot of these "alleged" incidents on the internet).

If you question was a scoring question unrelated to the game, e.g. was it a hit or an error, I would say do what ever you feel. Since this situation does have an impact on the game, you would need to score it as the umpire called it: home run.

If there was a call at home plate that was "out of view of PU", I hope you wouldn't rule it an out just because you disagreed with the umpire's safe call.

Sounds to me like this is a case where one could accurately use one of the old maxims:

When in doubt, call him out.

Of course, I would never use that in any other case. No. Never. Honest. Never ever. Nein. Nyet. Non. Cannot and can not. Will not and won't.

Methinks he was being facetious.

Or god I hope he was!
