And as simple as that change was, or should have been, there are still umpires today who cannot grasp starting near F4. |
ASA SP. R1 on 1B only with a pop fly to shallow left field. Whiplash sucks when checking the runner on a tag-up, because you KNOW F4 is playing halfway to the fence.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
