Watched a HS football game last night about froze my can. I much prefer baseball, we get to play when the weather is a little warmer.

It was actually Ricky Henderson who scored from third. He replaced Olerud at second.
We all know how difficult it is to see a foot out of the box. But during a bunt? That's exactly when I'd expect an umpire to be watching for those feet.
Let's not be too hard on Tim, though. He might've been blocked out by the catcher. The foot was behind the plate making it very tough to see. It's not like the foot was out of the front of the box - that's one an umpire should never miss.
