Anyway, nice catch, Welpe. Obviously, I overlooked the original 13, but when you consider that referees and umpires had separate duties -- far different from today -- you wonder if the term "umpire" has long outlasted its use.

Perhaps we should rename the endline since everyone calls it the "baseline." Or we could add an "over the back" foul.
