Yesterday the Cubs won a 17-inning game that ended when the opposing center fielder caught a fly ball but then dropped it after crashing into the wall and falling to the ground. The no-catch call was correct, of course, but the announcer on the evening's highlight film said, "Good call by the ump. The rules clearly state that [for the catch to be valid] you have to take the ball out of your glove. That's right in the rule book."

It's not in mine. Is it in anyone else's?
