[QUOTE]Originally posted by Illini_Ref
[B]The biggest mistake I see in the calling of this rule, as well as the misunderstanding of fans is this. People think that if the catcher cleanly fields the pitch on a short hop, then it is a CATCH. It is not a catch. The rule says that the catcher must catch the ball BEFORE it touches the ground.

When confronted with "but he caught it!?!", the answer should be "no he didn't, he fielded it".
