How far into the outfield should the ball go before it's no longer under the IFR...????
I heard one umpire discussing it yesterday and stated that for him "As long as the infield can back up to a reasonable position under the ball, he considers it under the IFR. If an infielder turns his/her back to the ball to get under it, then he doesn't consider it under the IFR...
What do y'all think of that rationale?
