Yankees' Aaron Judge hit a clear home run, but it was called foul in inexplicable replay review

It was either the biggest optical illusion of the MLB season or a total highway robbery.

Yankees superstar Aaron Judge crushed a home run into the left field trees in Tampa Bay on Sunday afternoon.

By the television broadcast angles, the baseball was fair by 10-plus feet.

But the umpires ruled it foul. Then they reviewed it, and they stuck with their call.

What were they looking at?

Judge ended up striking out, and at that point, manager Aaron Boone stormed out of the dugout and earned himself an ejection.

It looked to be Judge's eighth homer of the season.

It didn't end up mattering to the result, as the Yankees beat the Rays 4-0 behind a Max Fried gem.

But it's just hard to figure this one out. How could that baseball have been foul?

Judge's pursuit of home run records will just have to go on without this blast.
