Ed my friend!! It's good to see you. Do you still have that six foot Pole you take out to the ball field at lunch time? You still never told me if she was blonde or brunette. Is she from Warsaw?
By the way, you are correct that McCarver is just another uninformed announcer who likes to make things up to fill air time. A little side note, there is a slight difference here between baseball and softball. A runner in contact with a base who is hit by a fair batted ball is out in baseball but not out in softball.
The only way I know for a batter to be called out on a ball hitting someone on third would be if it was Otis Nixon laying down a bunt. (For everyone else... see Otis Nixon was this really, really fast guy on the Braves about 15-20 years ago. I don't mean to exaggerate so I won't say he could get an inside the park home run on a bunt, but I wouldn't bet against him getting a triple on one.)
