i had no play in mind i was reading thru the softball test and there is a question about hand part of the bat.
then i remeber this past year seeing this play where the batter took a pitch on the hand the home plate umpire sent him to first out came the coach stating hand was part the bat.
The home plate conferred with the field ump and the call ended up being "foul" ball later talking with the umps i got my answer in their mind one said always part of the hand the other said only during a swing
Thanks for the replies it is amazing how many "myths"
that i have see that where really wrong calls but a umpire is to "stubborn" to admit that he was wrong.
I know i will miss calls but if i learn from those calls
rest assured i wont miss it the second time.And for a young umpire who goes to games to observe a older umpire you think that they are making the correct calls, some are-some are not- Just a student of the game wanting to learn
