[QUOTE=dacodee]I'm working the plate... Man on 1st and 2nd, with two out. My partner is in the C position. Ground ball to the right of shortstop. Runner from second trys to avoid the fielder. As soon as the runner passes him, the shortstop runs into the back of the runner as he's charging the ball. Both, partner and myself have no call. Defensive coach goes crazy and whips out the rule book.
First and Foremost Interference is a JUDGEMENT call. Regardless of what happened if in the JUDGEMENT of the umpires there was no interference then there was no interference. Therefore, what rule is the coach going to show you? As the coach comes storming onto the field with the rule book it's simple: Hey Skip on the way to the parking lot read rule 9, have a nice day. Generally speaking when a coach comes onto the field with a rule-book, most experienced umpires will not give him "the time of day". Pete Booth
