Thank you, DG, for reinforcing this concept here. I've have tried futilely for years to convince my colleagues of this, but they all insist on using "catch and carry" to mean, "If the fielder catches the ball on live ball territory and then carries it into DBT, the ball is dead and the runners are awarded 1 base."

"Catch and carry" assumes that a legal catch has been made and the "carry" was inadvertent as in F can't stop momentum.

While that rule may apply to the particular game we're officiating, it isn't "catch and carry." Drives me crazy.
When was that part about a "seating area" added? I wonder if it applies to an aisle between the seats.

It' not about where you land, but about ability to not land there.
