Turned on the Mets game just in time to hear Ralph Kiner say that the ump blew the call by calling the BR out at 1B after the runner from 2B slid beyond reach of hand or foot to break up the double play and collided with F6. "He [BR] would have been safe at 1B," said Kiner. "There has to be a play at 1B."

The other announcer asked, "Well, would you have called interference if they had a chance to get the BR at 1B?"

Kiner: "Yes, then call [BR] out at 1B."

I'm not sure exactly which play they were talking about, whether it was in today's game or not. But they wouldn't have been talking about a play from weeks ago. Therefore, this one makes the fourth such INT call in the past few weeks.

I suspect that Kiner is thinking of his own playing days.
