Quote to me OBR authority that says that an infielder who catches a liner to retire BR is not his first play and I will sigh too.

NAPBL 3.1 "A play or attempted play shall be interpreted as a legitimate effort by a defensive player
who has posession of the ball to actually retire a runner." (emphasis added)
A fielder who catches a fly doesn't have posession until after the out; it's not a play.
