If he's safe, he's safe, if he's out, he's out. Call what you see.
(PS - if you SEE the foot hit the bag at the same time that you HEAR the ball hit the glove, then since the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound, the ball hit the glove before the foot hit the bag. Out.)

At a distance of 25 feet the difference between speed of light and speed of sound is not discernable.

Never the less, the statement is true.
|
Not discernable means the difference between sight and sound leaves you without a clear call.
