There's an interesting (using the term loosely) discussion on this same play on the baseball board. There seems to be disagreement (including by me) regarding whether a catch is "a play" with regard to awarding of bases. A large contingent says it is not, and that the "first play by an infielder" was the overthrow, so the award should have been TOP, not TOT. Thoughts?

There's too much vitriol on the baseball board. I don't call baseball but my understanding of the rule growing up was that the catch was not an initial play and so intuitively just read it that way (the opposite of your reading). And finally, their rule book doesn't seem clear at all.
