I would agree with the comment about Nelson not missing a call ever or very often. I watched a game early in the season during Inter League play. It was between the Braves and Royals.
Nelson was the 2nd Base umpire. Ball hit to the SS. It was your common 6-4-3 double play. However, there was interference by the runner coming to 2nd who slid way out of his way (replay confirms it) to break up the double play.
Nelson, immediately called the runner out at 2nd and then called the batter runner out at 1st for the interference caused by the base runner going into 2nd base.
Absolutley the correct call made by Nelson. He is one of the top young umpires MLB has right now and thus why is working the playoffs almost every year or every other year.
He will be in the World Series if not this year, very soon.
