dddunn,
Take this example: I'm PU working a FED Varsity game about a month ago. R3, and BR hit a shot right down the 3rd base line. R3, in his infinite wisdom, decides to run on the fair side of the baseline and TOTALLY obstructs my view of the ball. I don't pick up the ball until I see it about 10 feet in FOUL territory on the other side of the bag. I come up and sell FOUL BALL! Both 1st and 3rd base coaches go ballistic--the ball had bounced about 5 feet fair and took a crazy hop into foul...but again, I never saw the ball until it had basically made, what I thought, was the first touch in foul territory. Yea, I got it wrong, but like mbyron said, sometimes you just gotta umpire.
