I stopped the video when the ball was in the way of the foul pole mesh, and could easily argue it either way.
clear to me the ball changes to a different shade of white when looking frame by frame. does that happen if its in front of the mesh?

There is an easier way to tell than trying to see it change colors with the mesh on the pole.
If you watch the TV angle you see the ball land on the other side of the train tracks. That camera is on the visitors dugout. It cannot see the tracks in foul territory due to the hill and the bullpen that go down the first base line. In fact, the camera from that location cannot even see all of the fair territory out by the tracks.
When I saw it live, I thought it was foul. After watching the replay a couple of times it was pretty clear it was fair. Not one protest from a MSU player or coach, and the ump down the first base line seemed to have a clear shot of it.
It was a crappy angle to try and judge it by the pole. The camera on the 3rd base side probably would have been a better view but with the bases loaded, it was probably focused on the runner at 3rd or some other angle.

We're looking at an internet video, of a video, of a tv, of a ball hauling arse way in the distance that crosses the mesh for a split second. All of that considered, I could see the ball appearing to change tone even if it passed in front.
To say that video is slam dunk conclusive either way, is dumb.
