I may be in left field, but the official made the correct call because he knew the rule and A.R. that applied.

Mark, I'm not talking about this particular official's call. As I said previously in this thread, I didn't see enough of the replays to have a definite opinion on whether the call was correct or not. What I was talking about was the fact that sometimes a correct ruling is not immediately apparant; and in those difficult situations a little common sense is not the anathema that you sometimes make it out to be.

Besides, its right field where the non-athletes are always put, not left field.

I'm not talking about your athletic abililty, since I've never met you. I'm talking about your perspective. "Out in left field" is a phrase that dates back to Babe Ruth's playing days. I'll let you try to figure out what it means.
