Can either team issue the same challenge (MLB)

[spark2212]

Gary Cohen just raised an interesting point on today's Mets broadcast after Pete Alonso reached first base on a dropped fly ball right around the foul line but was thrown out trying for second base: could the Mets (the offensive team) have challenged the fair/foul call to negate the out and extend Alonso's at bat even though they'd be asking to negate a hit for one of their own players? More generally, is there any limit to which team can issue a particular challenge, or could either team ask to review the same call, even if it might be detrimental to their cause? As far as I understand the replay rules, any play which isn't specifically listed as reviewable can't be reviewed by either team, but as far as I know the rules have no mention that a specific team must be the one to issue a challenge, so I would assume there is no such restriction. I can think of other situations where this could come into play, for example, runner on third comes in to score on an apparent wild pitch, the defensive team might want to challenge for a hit by pitch so the ball would be dead and the run wouldn't count. Anyone know of a specific ruling on this?

I wouldn't see why not, although what would be the purpose since the fair/foul would be decided on the same review. Somebody would win or lose.

Yes. Just like a game a while back where the offense challenged that R1, who was called safe on the field, was tagged out on a ground ball with the bases loaded. This call being flipped to an out, removed the force at home, and allowed a run to score. Either team can ask for review of any aspect of the play as long as it is reviewable by rule.
