I have to disagree, the walzie is clearly fair, this was just a foul ball called fair, but you got my hopes up.  It would be hilarious if a homeun gets called in MLB for a ball that goes under the wall right down the line.

I hadn't actually seen it before posting.  My bad.  But after reading the article all I could think of was wallzie.

My teams are being hit with this odd good luck - first the Twins win on the bogus HR, and then yesterday I went to a Rochester Honkers game (summer league for college players), and in the bottom of the 11th, a Honkers guy tried to score from second on a single and was clearly thrown out at the plate.  He didn't even try to slide, because it wasn't a close play, and he was pretty obviously tagged before he touched the plate.  The ump called him safe anyway; I think he just wanted to go home.

Courtesy of the Bonny family, it appears we have the possibility of a kinda-wallzie in MLB: The Show

Man that crowd was unenthusiastic

Looks like it hit the wall, not through it

I think the technical explanation is that the wall and foul pole were probably created as separate objects in the stadium definition, and hitting the foul pole is an automatic home run.

You think that they would have figured this out by 2022.

you'd think the show would have figured out a lot of things
