Angel Hernandez and Jerry Manuel, 2001

May 25, 2001
Even after a late-inning rally and a night of sleep, Manuel was still equally adamant that home plate umpire Angel Hernandez was wrong to overturn a home run by Wil Cordero, which led to Manuel's ejection.

Cordero hit a towering fly ball down the left-field line that third base umpire Marvin Hudson ruled a home run. After Cordero completed his trot and returned to the dugout, Hernandez changed it to a foul ball.

"I asked him, 'Are you 100 percent sure?' '' Manuel said yesterday, getting emotional again. "He said, 'I'm 100 percent sure.' Then I said, 'Well, I'm 100 percent sure you'll watch the video and see it was a home run.' ''
