Maybe my point was lost in sarcasm.

If the umpires are in agreement that there was ONE out, and no one said anything, not the score keepers, the coaches, the fan's, Aunt Mabel at the hot dog stand, then maybe there was only ONE out!!!

Now, between innings the umpires are shooting the breeze at the backstop. One says to the other.."Hey Smitty, I think we really had 2 outs before the strike out last inning". And the other says, " You know Charlie, I think you're right!!". Now you are saying they should cancel the run and correct the "error" that no one else seemed to catch?

No but...

1. If anyone from either team mentions it, before the first pitch of the next inning, I want to get it right. That's our duty. If they can show me that there were 3 outs, then we accept it and cancel the runs. If nobody catches it...I was never wrong to begin with...eh?

2. Just so you know, my partner and I NEVER get together between innings at the backstop. It's usually at the concession window, or near the babe sitting near 3rd base!

Charlie and Smitty always meet at the backstop between innings!
