Jerry, you wrote: "The instant the runner is touched is when the Out occurs. Provided the catcher had full control of the ball at that time, you've got an Out.

You might have to sell it . . ."


It'll be a MAJOR sell Jerry. Be prepared to eject a whole boatload of people. There have been at least 1,276,438 runners called safe over the years because the catcher, or another fielder, didn't hold the ball. The presumption is that the player could not have been holding the ball securely if it came loose.
