MMA on CBS

The “R” Word
It was enough to make the purists weep.
Carlos Delgado hit a long high fly ball deep into the corner of Yankee Stadium last Sunday. It caromed off the base of the foul pole above the yellow line making it a home run. The third-base umpire Mike Reilly called it as he saw it and signified a round trip for the Mets sometime slugger, only to be overruled by the home plate umpire Bob Davidson - who was only 100 feet further away.
