Warren, above you mention throwing while falling the same as having fallen? I have one HS field that has a skinned infield, slopes towards FBL.When it rains, we have a nice pig wallow area that is chalked off, gives F3 about ten feet of live ball area. Numerous times I have seen a pop foul get caught and fielder gets throw off as he is falling on his ass. I guess this would be a time play?(grin) ass hits mud before throw, award bases. Throw gets off before ass hits, play it! Would you agree?

Under FED rules, the ball is dead if a fielder with a batted ball caught in flight steps with both feet into a dead-ball area; each runner is awarded one base. Therefore, once both of the fielder's feet pass into dead-ball territory what his ass does is immaterial.

I work ten times as many OBR games on this field than HS, O30 league into mid November, when it rains.....
