David,
I agree with Mike here. Not only does the POE state that the ball must be caught and then dropped, it goes on to say "Merely guiding the ball to the ground should not be considered and intentionally dropped ball. The only was I can see for a fielder to guide the ball to the ground is to use some part of their body, most logically their glove. (I don't know many players who would chest trap a line drive.) So as absurd as the notion is, in an ASA game, and Pony too I guess, I would have to allow the cheap-o double play.
