Cincinnati Reds vs Atlanta Braves (7-26-1997) "Bobby Cox Gets Ejected Over A Terrible Call"

after turning on a pitch charlie reliford now explaining to bobby cox here's a look at the pitch it's out over the plate see his back kind of lagged through the zone he got good wood on it it's going down the chalk look at the fans right here reaching in front of the foul pole do they well it looked like from that angle that it was just barely to the right yeah the key is would the ball have hit the uh the screen for the home run or carried on into foul territory here's the angle and there's the fan a la jeffrey mayer at yankee stadium he drops the ball and it's just tough from that from that angle it looks like the glove is just on the foul side but remember he kind of reached around the pole with that glove you know but the ball is twisting and curving that's my point it might continue to curve and go on into foul territory he reached in front of the screen and touched the ball so we'll never know how from that point on where the ball would have gone well the home cooking the fan reaches out and uh boy the we saw this in the playoffs last year the yankees and the orioles on a derrick jeter home run in the eighth inning by the way this is the bottom of the eighth this is a potential game-breaking home run as brett boone says yeah i'll take that you bet well he might have just seen the call of the first base umpire charlie reliford and bobby cox is going to lose this argument and whoa he's going to lose his place in this ball game too he's gone he wants to know why he was thrown out i mean it's just natural to go out there and argue about it maybe charlie reliford got tired of hearing it now the whole thing was the fan reaching in front of the screen we don't know the ball was slicing off of the bat we don't know from that point on where the ball would have gone would it continue to slice and go into foul territory or would it have hit the screen we don't know michael tucker reacted very similarly to former atlanta brave tony tarrasco who was the guy that watched that derek jeter home run in the playoffs last the 12 year old with the glove jeffrey mayer reached around and took that baseball it was called
