How is this a home run??/

[OleTomTalker]

Only part I'm not good with, he was on field when caught then ran and jumped wall. Vs jumped, caught, fell out

Yes!

Couldn't get video to load, but by reading it- it's a HR

It's a myth that if you go over the fence and catch it the batter is out. If you go over the wall too it's a hr catch or not

Interesting considering #38 here..

Said in the video it was dropped.

If he maintains control of the ball until his momentum stops, it's a catch and it appears he does that. What I'm confused about....where does it show the ball popping out of his glove on the other side of the fence? What video are the umpires looking at? All I see is him get up with it in his glove, hop back over the fence and then drop it. Ridiculous call.....should be an out.

I saw that video last night on MLB. It was clearly out and he picked it back up.

He didn't make a football move.

Lol..... If he would have just backed up to the wall instead of the cute little hop at the end, he'd have saved his back, head and the dang run.

[dragonsdaddy]

ask jose conseco about providing the impetus for an otherwise out, into a home run. a true heads up play.

clearly a HR ..... OF carries ball over the fence and never maintains control in his glove
