Of course, the reactions of players is not always helpful. We've all had that ball land on the line (once per game in 10U, right?) and stop, and as we point toward the field, all the fielders stop trying. Compound this with the time the BR also returned to the box and got his bat. (Had a nice conversation after the game with other blues about whether the "backing up down the 1st base line" rule applied in such a case). All the while, PU is pointing fair, waiting for someone to notice him.
