Last night Gary Sheffield of the Mets hit a shot to the wall, where a fan reached down to touch it and it landed on the field. The umpire called it a home run, but reports indicate the fan touched it below the rail. The Nationals disputed the call but it was upheld on video review. It’s hard to understand how all the reports seem to agree but it failed to be obvious on video review. I have been trying to find the video to see it myself. I’ve checked sites for channel 7, WTOP, and the Post and came up dry. I tried Google but there is an inherent problem in searching for a video when every report on the incident includes the word “video.” Any help would be appreciated. ---

> [@CookingWithGas](#): > > It’s hard to understand how all the reports seem to agree but it failed to be obvious on video review. My understanding is they won’t overturn calls unless it’s dead-to-rights video proof. The article I read implied the different angles weren’t good enough to overturn. I’d like to see it too (but I’m at work, so I can’t even search for video). ---
