This play has NO significance in real baseball. Sorry, I have wasted yet more bandwidth.

The proper spelling is "masturbation".

Consider that a slap on the hand.

Tee, Fwiw, in our football and basketball training meetings, we deliberately avoid TWP's. Mainly, we avoid them because we found that if we discussed some oddball play that really never happens, we always had a coupla guys that would make sure they'd find the same call that we were discussing in one of their games, no matter how big of a stretch the call might actually be. Did you ever find the same phenomenon with some of your baseball umps?

Just wondering.
