holy crap!
Just watched the replay of the play. I've NEVER seen a ball hit that far being called an infield fly - no wonder fans are pissed.
They HAVE to improve this rule. Define the distance, then put a line on the field (like the 3 point shot line in basketball) and THEN allow 'instant replay' for the playoffs. Or do what the nhl does during he playoffs - every goal scored is verified by the 'war room' in Toronto. In this case, have the war room verify all home runs, home run length fouls and infield flies. Perhaps dropped 3rd strikes and other plays could qualify too.
