...and right or wrong please don't be so sensitive. I hope your skin gets thicker when you hit the field.

And don't take someone else's credible opinion as the diametric opposite of yours. Nobody ever thought you would place your nose between the glove and the runner. There very well be a time where getting a closer look is not a bad tactic, but how close is too close. When the tag happens you need to be far enough away to see the continuing action following the tag. One may have to "get their nose in" on a play but if you are inside 6 (IMO, an absolute minimum) feet you are way too close. What can't one see from 6 feet away?
