I love that since MLB and I assume other baseball rule books use the term "alive" to describe the status of a ball in play no less than 10 times. OTOH, the term "ball is dead" is used on more than 50 occasions.
So, I really don't understand the resistance to "dead ball" since according their rules, it was alive.  |
Taking that a step further, I am pretty sure I remember the definition and rulings regarding "dead ball territory" in various levels of baseball. If the ball entering that territory doesn't make it a "dead ball", they logically should call that the "time territory".
Oops, logic. Never mind.
