When it rains, it pours...
...believe it or not, there was another runner at third hit by a batted ball in the finale at Montreal. I only caught the replay once but it looked like Ramirez (Cubs 3rd baseman) cut in front of 3rd base trying to field a grounder but missed. Then the grounder bounced up and hit the Expo baserunner standing on third. Though not absolutely sure, I think the runner was struck by the ball which was fair. The umps ruled that the ball was touched foul by Ramirez (uh, I don't think so), so it was dead when it hit the runner, thus, no advance...
...did anyone see the play? I realize that there were even less fans at Olympic Stadium (about five thousand), so I'm doubtful that many saw this play...
