I have great respect for those who have intricate knowledge of the rules to the point where a play happens once a year (or less) is met with immediate, on-the-field knowledge. I don't have that knowledge of the softball rules anymore -- I used to try to keep up with the differences, but now that I don't work softball I don't have to. That's what Mike Rowe is for -- whatever he says, I can take to the bank.
Too many umpires think that they can get strike, ball, safe, out, fair, foul right and that's all there is to umpiring. This play shows that you need to be able to do more.
