Default Baseball rule - opinion

Did you all see Austin Jackson of the Indians catch at Fenway in the last week or two? If not, he robbed a home run and ended up falling over the fence in right center into the Red Sox bullpen. The guys on MLB deemed it the best web gem of the year so far. Here it is:

I have seen this happen several times before (notably in Fenway with the short fence) and in my humble opinion - this should be a home run. He caught the ball but did not keep the ball in the park. The ball ended up over the fence. Granted it did not touch the ground beyond the fence but Jackson surely did.

Since the ball and player ended up over the fence I say HR.

What say you?
