I recall reading or hearing of a minor league or independent league where in a two-man system with no runners on the PU would cover third base on a triple. The reasoning for this mechanic was I think born of the knowledge of the speed of the runners and the desire to bring the umpire as close to the play as possible (considering angle and distance).
I do know of a high school umpire who advocated this coverage but it was only because he was either too slow or lazy. I am only bringing this up for discussion purposes. Does anyone see any merit in this? Jim/NY
