SS barely in the same zip code as 2B in Tigers-Red Sox game.

I am getting senile in my old age because I cannot remember what inning in which it happened but the Red Sox completed a 4-6-3 DP (Actually the only out was the one at 2B; see what I mean about old age, .) last night where F6 was no where near 2B when taking the throw from F4 and then throw the ball to F3 for the force of the B/R at 1B and the BU at 2B called the Runner going from 1B to 2B out even though F6 never (with apologies to the late J. Dallas Shirley, BKB officials from the BKB Forum will understand my reference) came close to touching 2B.

As MTD, Jr., says MLB players are supposed to be the best players in the world, therefore, why should they be held to a lower standard for completing a DP than H.S. players? What say you? Hopefully someone can find a video of the play. Thanks.

MTD, Sr.
