Last night Dana Demuth made a call as the plate umpire. He called David Justice out for being outside the running lane. The first base coach for the Yankees protested the call on the basis that Justice was already on the bag when the ball hit him. Replay showed this to be true. Dana's arguement was Justice was not in the lane at the time the ball was thrown. In my mind the call was made correctly. I do not work in the professional book (OBR) ever. In amateur ball I would claim that the correct call was made. Penny for your thoughts.
