Now
if this were to happen to Eric Byrnes, do you think the Rox would carry him around the bags?

Nah
But they might at least drag him around the bags. ; )

i still do not believe that rule.
She could have been awarded the base she had reached, taken out of the game and a pinch runner would have been allowed to finish the home run. This made for a much cooler story though.

Great story
I don’t get choked up often, but I almost got choked up when I read the story, and then just about got choked up again seeing it on ESPN.
FYI – ESPN talked to the supervisor of officials. The umps were actually wrong. The rule does allow a pinch runner to finish the homer. But that shouldn’t take anything away from a great story.
