Thanks mike

Regarding the "odd" calls- you see balks more often than the rest. Re-entry occurrs nearly every game, so you'll see the sub rule quite frequently.

Last year i had 2 or 3 batter's int calls, 2 or 3 catcher's int calls, 1 maybe 2 int calls in the field, 1 maybe 2 obstruction calls, zero FPSR calls and zero malicious contact calls.

REALLY rare ones i had this year-
*Batted ball hit Base Umpire in C position
*Fly ball, ball hits F8's mitt and pops up, R2 leaves bag, F8 then catches ball. (I had to correct my partner who forgot the rule and messed up the subsequent appeal)
*Seen an aluminum bat break (no rule reference here, just thought it was noteable ).


If you're asking this question to see which rules you need to "know better," you should learn them all. These things happen very rarely, but it's your job to know what to do when they happen.
