Okay, well, I guess I see what they're saying. I just can't imagine trying to explain it to coaches. It's just too convoluted and complicated, and goes against what seems like the clear meaning of "last to touch". I really hope someone will knock some sense into the Rules Committee (like the V-8 ads!) and give us an interp we can use in the real world. Generally, I can see where their interps are coming from, and what the underlying principles are, but this is just too arcane. Makes the Infield Fly Rule look like a kindergarten game.
