Regarding this specific case...I think I'm okay with it being overturned. The ump admitted afterwards he was wrong, the call was clearly and verifiably wrong, and overturning it would be a clean deal, not affecting any game outcomes or getting into any situation where you can't just assume everything afterwards would have happened the same if the right call had been made. Overturn the call, game ends then, the next at bat is wiped off the record, voila, balance restored.
But I'm pretty sure that overturning it will be basically an admission that yes, instant replay for calls beyond homerun calls will be coming to baseball.
