The "Play On" philosophy begs the question of safety/liability issues.
If you saw the ball, did not kill the play, and a defensive player was struck in the head while the ball was in flight, or a baserunner unaware stepped on the extra ball causing a compound leg fracture.
The question goes beyond its affect on the play. It's how much risk is involved; and would it be a case of gross-negligence if an injury were to occur?
