Larry 1953: "So now PU Danley completely kicks a call on a dribbler in front of the plate."
Regarding the dribbler in front of the plate that plate umpire Danley called "Foul", replay clearly indicated it to be Fair. It was a Texas batter who would have been out on that play, but instead he came back to the pate and eventually got a hit driving in a run. Tampa Bay manager Madden had come out to PU Danley about the call, but quickly accepted Danley's explanation with no argument (uncharacteristic of Madden, especially given the eventual consequences of the foul call).
Anyone have any information on what Danley might have said to Madden to have him so easily, quickly and quietly go back to the dugout?
