(Sorry in advance. I didn't examine all that has been said so far.)
The umpire could tell us other things as well. Do we know how Foxx scored each time in home games during that World Series? And who was on base, if anyone? Although not scientific, the ump is clearly looking towards the area of center or right/center field, so he could be watching as the ball is coming in or he may be watching the progress of a runner (maybe quickly glancing to his right after ensuring the player touched home plate??). If Foxx scored on a sac fly to right (as stated) with no one on base (for example), this shot could point to that. But since the umpire is clearly not focused on watching the runner score, I would have to imagine there is at least one other player on base. If 'Foxx' scored on a hit, it could point to the ump watching the batter or another runner. Again, not scientific, but it certainly could be helpful in eliminating some possible scenarios.
