Speaking ASA, it must be caught and then dropped. (POE 29, 2003)
This always struck me as an odd rule. If the ball is caught and then dropped, isn't that a catch and intentional release? Out anyway. I guess you do have the dead ball issue, which removes any possiblity of further outs on the play (doubling off a runner who left early, that sort of thing).
