or foul?Thoughts? First impressions?I immediately go to the Yankees broadcast.Michael Kay sounds just distraught over the fact that it may get overturned."That looks fair," he said.When the opposing teams' broadcast booth is admitting defeat, it was probably the wrong call.
To me, this seems like a pretty cut and dry home run.I've seen a lot of them in my days watching and playing baseball, and this one feels pretty easy.Why did they call it foul on the field? I have no idea.
But they did, and when it was called foul in the moment, it was NEVER getting overturned.No shot.
The replay is certainly close enough to make any call on the field stand.ZERO BS.JUST DAKICH.
