Back in the early 1990s, Joe Morgan claimed that the scorer had erred by awarding the batter (Baker) a single instead of a double on the following play:
Abel on 2B, Baker lined a hit to right field. F9 took it on two hops and threw home where Abel was safe on a close play. Baker took 2B on the throw.
Joe Morgan claimed that since Baker had not stopped running after rounding 1B, but instead kept going when he saw F9 throw home, he should have been credited with a double.
The other announcer made a diplomatic attempt to indicate that Morgan was wrong, but quickly gave up when Morgan insisted.
