Remember this thread?
Cardinals - Marlins game, batter interference?

This occurred during a regular season game. Chris Carpenter of the Cardinals was called out for batter's interference during a suicide squeeze.

The problem is that there were fewer than 2 outs and the *RUNNER* should have been called out - not the batter. The umpire blew the call and MLB admitted as much the following day.

The home plate umpire? ... Doug Eddings.
