Donaldson should take shit but isn't that also a little bit on the first base coach? I mean instead of high fiving your guy maybe make sure an ump actually called it gone.

Reminded me of this:
http://www.centerfieldmaz.com/2020/09/remembering-mets-history-1973-ball-on.html

Dave Augustine drilled a fly ball over the head of Cleon Jones in deep left field, the ball was headed to be a HR. But miraculously, it bounced on the top of the wall into Cleon Jones' glove. Jones played it perfectly, he then turned & fired to short stop Wayne Garrett.
From the moment the ball was hit, Pirates runner Richie Zisk took off from first & was rounding the bases. Wayne Garrett took the relay & made a perfect throw to home plate to catcher Ron Hodges.
Hodges took the throw, blocked the plate held his ground & tagged out Zisk who was trying to score on the play. "Out at home plate". This play became known as "the Ball on the Wall Play".
