I have found that batters interference is a call that has to be made instantaneously and most of the time we fail to make it.
How many times have you found yourself thinking, "that was interference", @#$%, too late now.
Also it is a call that often takes some melons and the easy thing to do is over look it.
In my opinion true batters interference is over looked or "missed" far more than batters interference called incorrectly.
One time I called batters interference with r-3 stealing home, bottom of the last inning, two out and the home team down by 1. I still have no doubt that it was the correct call. The home team and spectators had a different opinion.
It is OK to get a judgment call wrong once in awhile. But it is embarrassing to get the rules wrong if you have been around awhile.
