With the cloud of dust, I didn't actually SEE all that but I know they happened underneath all the dirt. The timing was there for an out, that's why I called it. I never saw the ball touch the runner, or the runner touch the bag. I could just as easily called him safe, but based on what I DID SEE, I rang him up. I hustle ALL the time on the field, sprint to the middle on a sure double to cover the bag there, I even run to the position behind the mound after a walk (not sprint..that's just silly). But on this call there was no time to do that. Funny, stuff like this would have ate me up when I got started, now it's not that big of a deal any more...even though I could have kicked it.
Is Sosa #35 now? I picked up this moniker back when Mussina was with the team and stuck with it for all the multitude of logins on the internet.
Didn't want to become Yankees35...ugh.
