I read this post yesterday, and didn't think about it again until tonight. Had a varsity game, was close for a while, county rivals playing each other (in fact, of the 13 kids on each team, I know at least 6 of them were related). Anyway, Had runners on 2nd and 3rd, no outs. Fly ball to right. Catch is made and tag is good, throw is about 15 feet high coming into the plate. Goes over catchers head. Runner from second is being sent to plate. I have never been able to get all the way to first baseline before, but in the back of my mind I was remembering your post. I busted my fat rear (all 300 pounds of it) and got position. Flip from catcher is there, but tag is way high. Fans go nuts thinking she is out. Catcher told them the tag was high, they start arguing with her! She told them to shut up! I loved it.
Best catcher I ever had.
