Thanks, guys. BTW, I've seen him ump several minor league games. I think it's more like his son's on the team and he was pitching at the time. That's why I would never ump one of my sons games, although I'd probably be harder on my son than more lenient. But I have to admit I guess I didn't know the rule too well either. However if you use the fly ball analogy our catcher would've had him out because the ball while it popped out of his glove, it never hit the ground. Being a Sooner fan I would compare it to a football play you may have seen, back in 2000 I believe when Andre Woolfolk was playing WR in the Nebraska game and the ball popped up after hitting his hands, he fell on his back and caught it while lying on his back. Except our catcher had control of the ball and when the ball popped out for him it didn't go very high in the air but he did re-catch the ball in his glove and have control of the ball afterward to do something with it after the play as you put it. Oh well, it didn't make too much of a difference in the game anyway, we still would've lost. Thanks again.
