Umpire just looks at F3 and makes no call.

Then, as BR is returning to 1B, F3 tags him. Umpire signals out.

Nothing like calling out a 17 yr old thread...but is there a chance anybody has this video clip?

It's relevant today because a similar play occurred in the Boston/Toronto game today.

Worth a try. Thanks!

Sorry, I don't. Do you have a clip on UE of the above?

BTW Thanks for reminding me how old I am

17 yrs! Damn!

I thought I had wandered into McGriff's for a moment.

If anything, we should be grateful at how much more accessible tools and resources are today than they were then.

This is nowhere as raucous (for want of a better word at the moment) as McGriff's was.
