I really find it hard to believe that anyone would propose a "retroactive" call on the IF rule or any rule for that matter. Heck, why don't we just wait to see how the game turns out before we enforce any of the rules...then we can go back and see which ones we really need to apply. Wouldn't that be easier? Come on...get real. Really...the IF rule isn't that hard to understand. However, it sounds as if you are more concerned on how you will be viewed by the coaches and players and fans than on what is right according to the rules, Greg. We cannot decide which rules we will enforce or how we will enforce them. That is not what we are here for. Plain and simply put, we must enforce all rules, as they are written. In the play you described, as you wrote it, you should have had an out on the batter. Its that simple.
