I am pretty sure this is a new question. Let me know what you think as it is most certainly a judgement call.
R3 stealing home, b1 bunts to pitcher, who underhands to the catcher for an easy out at home, but wait, there's more!
As R3 is sliding, he throws his foot up in an obvious attempt to kick F2's mitt, which he does. Ball drops to ground, R3 scores (by my call). Fan's go nuts. They scream and complain at me, I ignore them. Later in the day I ask another GOOD umpire, and he says I made the right call. Tonight I get to field and get reprimanded (sorta) by the League President saying he got close to 15 calls over the weekend, and he was sick of hearing it. You make the call, out or safe?
