Hear about the play in Oakland the other day? Toronto had bases juiced, one out. Batter hits a ground ball to first. First baseman lunges at runner leaving first, umpire rules no tag and fires home. Since runner had not been tagged, the play at home is a force play and when catcher catches ball in plenty of time, he steps on home and since this is a force makes no effort to tag runner coming in. But wait a second. Here comes the Toronto manager. He claims runner had been tagged at first and therefore force was off at the plate and run should count. Umps bring out the headsets (what a moronic way in the 21st century to handle this but that's another story) and after about five minutes, they rule indeed tag at first had been made, the runner at first is out but the force is off and the run counts. Oakland manager manages to hold his temper and they go back under the hood. After all, the catcher had plenty of time to apply the tag if he had not been deceived byh the blown call at first. Umps refuse to change the call (apparently they can undo a play not executed because of a wrong call by say calling the guy out at home or at the very least putting him back on third as a compromise). Oakland protests the game but it becomes moot when they win the game. Another example of the problems using replayin a continuing action sport like baseball. Here's the play: m.mlb.com/video/?content_id=34268385&c_id=mlb&topic_id=vtp_review

I am not sure it is so clear cut that it is the neighborhood play. It was not like Simmons was dragging his foot across second base as he was receiving the throw to avoid the runner and did not touch second base with the ball in his glove. Simmons was clearly in front of the bag with both feet before the ball was near him
