Major League umpires do not make official interpretations of the rules. They get the interpretations from the "Red Book" (which, I think, has a blue cover this season) which is given out at the start of spring training.

Not to copy Carl, I would also like the names of the umpires you consulted with so I can see if they are the same ones I talked with when this issue first came up.

In Bfair's posting he contended that a throw from F6 that was "almost" on line and took F3 into the first base line was also covered under the runners lane rule. Is this the type issue that you are talking about?

I would like to get this issue closed up once and for all.

Can you help me?
