Homer replays can be found on and a list can be extracted from the Expanded Replays page.
On August 28, 2008, Major League Baseball instituted an instant replay system in games to help decide some home runs calls. There are only three situations in which the replay can be used: (1) Was the potential homer fair or foul? (2) Did a fan interfere with a potential homer? (3) Did a potential homer go over the fence?
It is up to the crew chief to decide whether or not to use the replay system. A team cannot request or demand that it be used. Once the replay has been viewed and the umpires make their decision, no appeals are allowed and teams are not allowed to argue the call.
This system was put in place because of a series of calls in a 10-day period earlier that season which drew a lot of attention.
There was a use of a homer replay in 1999 before they were authorized. Details

In the bottom of the third, Anthony Alford hit a ball that was ruled foul, and the call stood after the review called for by crew chief Dan Iassogna.
9/26 MIA @ NYN
In the bottom of the first, Robinson Cano hit a high fly down the right field line that passed just to the right of the pole and was called foul. The review ordered by crew chief Joe West confirmed the call.
10/7 NYA @ MIN (ALDS)
Gleyber Torres hit a drive to left in the bottom of the second that a fan tried to catch by reaching over the fence that extends above the top of the wall. The replay called for crew chief Gary Cederstrom showed that the ball hit higher than left fielder Jake Cave's leap, so the call of a homer was confirmed.
10/9 WAS @ LAN (NLDS)
Leading off the bottom of the first, in an unusual play Joc Pederson hit a line drive to left that passed through the gate in the fence and disappeared from view. It was called a home run, but the review requested by crew chief Ted Barrett reversed the call to a ground-rule double.
