R1 and R3, 1 out. Fly ball to left. R3 tags and R1 tags. R1 is toast at second...a good one or two steps BEFORE R3 touches the plate. Tim Tschida correctly waives off the run...and the Twins announcers knew the rule!
I nearly fainted. (I shouldn't have...Jeff Nelson was the second base umpire. IMO, any crew that has Mr. Nelson on it will never screw up a rule. Another umpire might screw it up, but Mr. Nelson will correct it in the "team huddle".)
