Reading this thread reminds of the time Paul LoDuca (don't remember what team he was on at the time, Dodgers or Mets) spiked the ball into the ground after a safe call at home (he was ejected immediately). John Smoltz, the batter was advancing to 2B when this happened. For some reason the play was killed, and Smoltz was returned to 1B.
I contacted the crew chief Hunter W. as to what happened. He replied that the play was over at that point. I then asked what if he threw the ball into CF instead. I never heard back.
If LoDuca throws the ball down, and wants to jump up and down raving at the HPU, I ain't calling time.
