Make the call when the ball is at its' apex height. Runners place themselves at risk according to how the play evolves. Just applying the rule as written presents a fair balance between offense and defense. Experience and talking with fellow umps will hone your judgement regarding "with ordinary effort". Pat O'Reilly

Greg,
Do I understand your post correctly, you are saying
do not call infield fly until you see if all
runners, including batter-runner have advanced at
least one base, or are you saying call it but do not
enforce it if all runners including batter-runner,
advance at least one base. Either way, I think you
are kinda *off-base* here. Offensively, coaches will
enjoy having you in game.
