Video Review Makes Debut in World Series

Alex Rodriguez gained a two-run homer after
the first use of video technology in World Series history
determined the drive by New York’s third baseman struck a
television camera above the right-field fence at Citizens Bank
Park.
   
With Mark Teixeira on first base and one out in the fourth
inning of Game 3 on Saturday night, Rodriguez hit a drive down the
line off Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels, and the ball bounded back on
the field. Rodriguez stopped at second base, with Teixeira holding
at third, and A-Rod signaled home run with his hand.
   
After Yankees manager Joe Girardi came out, the umpires convened
and then went inside to check replays. About 1 minute later, they
emerged and signaled home run, bringing New York within 3-2 and
prompting the crowd to boo.
