1) You tell him he needs to go touch first.

2) He doesn't.

Your act is getting really old.

I have Nemcec's book - interesting - not a valid source interpretations.

The Sporting News' book used to be considered the key source as it was writtten by Billy Evans - an MLB umpire.. Still has historical value on interpretations.
