I hate the Yankees.... and I thought it was an awful call. It is generally accepted that since the bag is in the infield (and not in the lane), that the last step will have to come back into fair territory (out of the lane) to hit the bag. Cano was running essentially on the line (whatever previous poster said about hopping is absurd... watch it again - right foot IN the lane, left foot on the line, right foot on the right side of the line, left foot barely touching the line, right foot on the middle of the line... POP in the back, then left foot inside the lane, at the bag) and was hit right as his final step was taking him outside the lane. BAD call. But I was happy to see it. No tears for the Yank-Me's here.
