First base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt called it fair, and Kubel began a trot around the bases that would have tied the game at 3-3, even as a television replay clearly showed that the ball crossed into foul territory just in front of the pole, the white of the baseball clearly visible against the pole's bright yellow.
