Thanks for this - I wasn't able to see this shot from my video feed.  I guess there's the conclusive evidence.

I also have a question. It looked like the umpire was waiting to see if NY wanted to challenge the play. Should this be happening? Do you get a certain amount of time to ask for a challenge?

I believe it's supposed to be 30 seconds.

This may be splitting hairs, but I sure hope that the Yankees' manager got the attention of the umpire before the umpire started staring into the dugout. A 30-second delay after a close play is fine with me ........ walk to the front of home plate, lean over and dust it off with your brush, walk back to your umpires' position behind the plate, etc.  But I don't like the notion of an umpire immediately staring into a team's dugout right after a close play without the team itself (the manager and/or one of his coaches) initiating some type of correspondence first. It seems a bit too influential for the umpire to start gawking at the team's dugout (without any prompting from the team itself) after a close play.
