OBR 7.07 Catcher at Home

[DG]

I don't remember where I read it, but somewhere I read that a ball inflight to the catcher was close enough to be considered "making a play" when the ball was over the dirt area around home, ie 13 feet from the plate. A ball just released by an infielder is not close enough, and the catcher should not block the plate until it get's closer to the plate. Close enough would be umpire judgement.
