Just an observation/thought. If the runner touches only the black part of the plate and you absolutely know this as fact, what advantage has he gained by doing this?
What do you do on a game winning score where you have no idea if the runner touches the plate at all? You may scream and yell at the players but their excitement makes it impossible to see the touch. Can you or would you call him out without having any evidence that he didnt touch the plate?
I personally file this under the "sometimes you have to umpire" tab. As JJ likes to say, "dont go looking for buggers"!!!!!!!!
