I've never asked for help on a play where I've been "straightlined" on a play at first base. Never. Ever.

I've asked for help twice in my career at first base. In both occasions a fielder ran in front of me and blocked my view of a play. Both times I made sure the plate umpire was watching and I was certain I was working with a guy who wouldn't drop the ball.

But a routine grounder? It'll be a cold day in you-know-where when I can't get that myself and it will also be a cold day in you-know-where when I'll ask for help on that.
