Can someone please confirm that I made the proper call or correct my interpretation? Thanks.
Depends on whether you buy into J/R, I guess.

Personally, I think the BR was probably out once the base was touched. If the train wreck happened afterwards, I'd still have an out.

I think if you thought the collision allowed the ball to be dropped then call the out.

If not, then you might have made the right call.

Thanks
