Mike's point is that while the hands are not part of the bat, the knob is still part of the bat.

However, you'd have to be damn certain that the ball did not touch any part of the player's body (ie. hands, wrists, sleeves, etc.) before you rule the ball live.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
