How Long ? Who Cares ?

I concur with the above statements of reason and explination. But would also like to add that not only does time not make a good umpire sometimes but stubborness also is a sad case. I had this exact same rule problem in a indoor league this past winter and of course double checked the rule book after being unable to convince my partner of his error and also put this same question to this board and others and took copies of all of the replys to the umpire and he STILL defended his stance. Said it was an association thing. Some people just don't want to learn or admit where they are wrong. I just hope you were not in Indianapolis when this happened. Then maybe again it was the same umpire and he is the only one out there that believes himself. Maybe
