Larry Anderson was actually reserved, mostly because he didn't know the rule.
There are two ways to look at this: 1) You can only review for a home run- meaning that Jack McKeon would have had to ask Joe West to review Pence's double to see if it was a home run. From there, West could, according to a former umpire, make any call while in the process of reviewing. A ballsy, perhaps genius request by McKeon. Or, West reviewed on his own, though that didn't appear to be the case. 2) McKeon asked West to review for fan interference on a double- something that is not reviewable. It's hard to know since there's nothing in the rule book. Another Bud Selig boner.

glad we are not in a tight playoff race because calls like that can cost you games
Cowboy. Joe. Buck. Watching this game at a bar in Boulder, CO. Had to go to the mall yesterday to get my glasses repaired, saw both a Howard T-uni and a Nnamdi and Desean jerseys. The front-running is official, it’s spread to the suburbs of Denver. I’ve walked around with my well-worn Phils cap on and gotten nothing but shit from locals, the nation is divided between haters and front runners
Cowboy Joe claims Charlie asked for a replay.
Charlie insists he did not.
I know who I believe.
This is complete bullshit. 1st of all, the rule is that you can only review FAIR or FOUL home run calls. How is this even close to being a foul ball? Second of all, how can you assume he makes the catch? Unless it’s in the Marlins’ ground rules, then any fan interference, whether or not a fielder is present is an out.
here is a response from the fans

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK THIS NOISE! btw Herndon sucks dick for crack
Between this and what happened to Scotland I’ve had a horrible sports weekend. And all because of officials, sigh
I thought the coaches were the only people who could request a review? These umps were pathetic, probably pissed there were only phillies fans in the stadium!
