Reminds me of one I had here a long time ago. Liner down 1st base line. Ball lands on chalk and catcher running down the line next to me yells "FOUL". BR turns to express his displeasure with me only to see me furiously signalling fair. After he turns to run out goes the left arm. Meanwhile in right the fielder stops chasing the ball because of the foul call. He finally catches on and throws it in after the BR has taken a wide turn at 3rd and then changes his mind and retreats. I then announce BR get home on the OBS. Catcher tries the "but it made the fielder stop too" line to which I replied, "don't care if you interfere with a teammate, do care what happens to the other team".
PS: Still in Kananga, DR Congo. Not a softball game in sight but had a strong urge to visit y'all.
