Default Re: Baseball - fantastic game....

Yeah Taltarzac it was very hard to tell. I base my opinion on having been in that left-field section of Coors Field on more than one occasion. I've seen more than a few balls hit those chairs (sometimes with occupants) and pinball back onto the field. I think the ball would not have taken such a redirection as it did if it had hit the yellow padding at the top of the wall. But as you stated it was difficult to determine. Even if a replay was permitted as in NFL, no conclusive evidence would have allowed a change in the umpire's call.
