Here's a case that I believe the field belongs to the ump.
Last night I had a long fly ball hit down the 3rd base line and just before a running left fielder caught the ball here comes F6 to stand directly on the line. I signaled fair then called the catch. I then informed F6 that I need to have the line or the benefit of the doubt goes to the offense.6" one way or the other is all I need. No problems after that.
And of course we've all had the on deck guy that needs a good look at the play at the plate.
