different kind of play..

[peter_s_n]

Runner lifting his foot from the bag - had one kid (I keep book for a Little League team) that every time he got on base, he kept pulling his foot off - don't know as he ever got got picked off like that but hewas ripe for it.

Had a similar incident as a neophite PU. Man on third, ball hit to outfield - throw home pulls the catch 3 feet away from batters box. I didn't signal safe because I thought the call was so obvious. Catcher approaches me after the play and asks 'did the run score'. Only my third game umpiring, but it taught me to ALWAYS make the call regardless of how 'obvious'.
