I wonder if this umpire confused this with the 18'-21' beyond 1B when working the line with how far one should set up for a play.
Unfortunately, it is not unusual for people who don't routinely attend clinics to hear somethings. If they do not follow up, it seems some of these people get a number in their head and hang their hat on it, right or wrong.
