Wow, I thought the same way when I first saw it but every replay I've seen
makes it look clearly like a legal lateral.
Now that 'foot in the crease' score by Dallas two years ago was wrong. Then
again the home run that the kid pulled in when the Baltimore Orioles played
the New York Yankees was definatly a home run, but I'm a Yankee fan.
But guess what? The players have left, the fans headed home, the lights were
turned out. 'Start blow drying Kopple's hair!' It's over.
