If (In High School) it looks like malicious contact, call it.
Happenned to me yesterday. R3 gets picked off third. He makes break for plate. Guessin' hes pissed cause he got picked, he heads straight for F2 who now has the ball.
R3 lowers his head and goes in head first. In this head first slide, he doesnt throw his hands out, ala a dive, like most head firsts.
R3 tucks his arms into his body football style.
He goes up and into catcher, clearly going after the catcher, and not for the plate. Blasting now airborne F2 into the backstop.
F2 holds onto the ball, and I say..."Your out, and your OUT!."
Mgr comes out, but doesnt argue. Just wanted to know what happenned, and would his guy miss the next game, etc.
Malicious Contact" You Know It When You See It.
