Players? Which players?
The only one who might have mattered was Barrett, and as JJ pointed out earlier, it didn't seem to bother him.
From JJ's post:
From the newspaper article -
"Barrett was quoted after the game on the incident: "I've never, ever second-guessed Tim McClelland at home plate. And when he told me he was safe, there was no argument in my mind.""
If the catcher has no issue with it, who gives a rats a$$ if a few amateur umpires think they can school McClelland?
