There was another thread about a fielder knocking himself out making a catch? Or was it just a discussion about when a runner could leave a base if a fly ball was touched by one fielder and caught by another?
I remember a Cubs infielder getting knocked cold on a pop-up a few years back and the ball was still in his glove when the ambulance left the park. You saying that wasn't a catch?
Are you such a nut case on the strict interpretaton of things in non-baseball matters? Have you ever rolled through a stop sign, for example? Driven a "couple" of MPHs over the limit? When making cookies how much time do you spend making sure all the ingredient measurements are perfect? Is your oven temperature
exactly 350 degrees F? How tall are you to the nearest millimeter?
