Hello, all. It's good to know I have this board of many very knowledgeable officials, who love the best game on earth and give of their time to help improve fellow umpires, which in turn, improves the quality of games for fans, players, and coaches alike.
I'm still hoping a coach will ask me
where the fielders feet were in the situation you quoted above, Cecil. I forget who; but someone on this board when asked "where were her feet, blue?" said:
..."In her shoes, coach, but what matters is where the ball was when touched... not where the fielders feet were".

Nothing like fun at the ole' ball park. Al
