Joe West Does IT AGAIN

[Rich Ives]

On both calls the fielder partially blocked the umpire's view of the play.

Infielders come inside on stolen base attempts most of the time.

The "conclusive" replay is almost always the one from the outfield side.

So why doesn't U2 stay outside so he doesn't get blocked out?

In the "old days" the AL umps were outside and the NL umps inside. How was it decided that inside was the better position?
