That's crazy talk, and not the case at all. It doesn't matter who catches it, or whether it's caught at all. The rule is that the ball CAN be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
