Michael Chavis hits a Monster Shot that Everyone Thought Went Foul, a Breakdown

In the bottom of the 9th inning, with the score close, Colorado Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland faces off against Boston Red Sox first baseman Michael Chavis. Chavis steps up to the plate, ready to make a play that will electrify the crowd. Chavis swings with all his might and the crowd erupts as the ball rockets off his bat. The broadcast crews are stunned, as the ball appears to sail well foul of the left field pole. However, the umpires confer and rule it a home run, to the disbelief of Rockies manager Bud Black and everyone watching. Replays show the ball traveling an immense distance, far past the foul pole. Chavis himself is unsure, saying "I couldn't see the ball, I thought it was gone." The camera pans to the fans, who are all looking intently in the distance, suggesting the ball may have curved around the pole. The replay officials review the play, but ultimately cannot definitively determine whether the ball went fair or foul. Given the on-field call of a home run, they have no choice but to uphold it. Freeland's stunned reaction captures the shock of everyone in the stadium - how could such an obvious foul ball be ruled a home run? Yet the rules dictate that the umpires' original decision must stand. Michael Chavis has delivered an absolute monster shot, one that had everyone in the park questioning their own eyes. Despite the confusion, the Red Sox have taken the lead late in this tight game against their division rivals, the Rockies. The improbable home run will be the talk of the sports world, a moment of sheer disbelief that will be replayed for years to come.
