The loudest, most annoying, fan I had all season this year (who ended up getting his walking papers) was swearing about a call at the plate that he had absolutely no ability to see because my large behind was directly in line with where he was and the play at the plate. (Very similar to the OP play). If he had any view of the play he had X-ray vision. He had no problem voicing his opinion which got him a request to exit the facility from the campus police.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, in ASA touching the black is same as touching the plate
