Let me clarify that I was spectator at this game. HS Varsity district game. Cross town rivalry. BIG GAME. R1 1 out. Ground ball to F4 who breaks in to field it. R1, F4 and ball meet in the baseline. F4 fields ball cleanly just as R2 crashes into him, or I should describe it as trying to vault over him. F4 tags R1, who is rolling over the top of him, and completes a decent throw to F3 too late to retire BR.

Both umpires are obviously veterans based on thier age and appearance and the fact that this is a 5A district game between two heated rivalries. Why no interference call? And why, when R1, who became livid after being called out by BU and threw his helmet across the infield, was he not ejected. Why was'nt the double play called subsequent to the interference. These are all calls that I have made myself. And I call almost exclusively youth baseball. HMMM.

My point is that there are LL umpires(to use the negative connatation often propagated on this and other sites) at all levels of baseball. Including BIG BOY baseball. Even the guys who get the big games.

The level of baseball doen'nt matter guys. Its how you call the game!

Mike
