Ohh I missed that one.... Classic

One of my favorites I heard this year in a men's league. The batter hit the ball which went strait down to the plate and then landed < 1' infront of the plate. The batter made no attempt to run, and the catcher just reached forward grabbed the ball, tagged the batter and I called him out. "What are you talking about the ball is foul when it hits the plate! I've been playing all my life including Independent League and I've never heard of that...." The next batter was the teams coach who told him I was right and asaved him from having some extra time to look it up.
