No it's not. There is no such thing as "heat lightning." What you mistakenly refer to as "heat lightning" is nothing but bolts of lightning hidden behind the clouds. What you see is the reflection of the light from such bolts. They are no less dangerous than bolts that are visible.

Do people realize how far lightning can travel? Case in point: Several years ago in an American Legion level game on a bright, sunny day, a second baseman in a north Chicago suburb was struck and killed by a lightning bolt that came from a cumulonimbus cloud 17 miles away. There were no clouds over or near the ball park. This lone thunderhead generated the lightning that killed this young man and seriously injured his friend, the first baseman.

Is this a multiple choice question?

He contributed more than you ever have! And yes I get the pun. Good one.

Also, I am going to point out a rule that SDS, Garth, mbcrowder, SAump and ptmac are unaware of:

3.10 c:
The umpire-in-chief shall be the sole judge as to whether and when play shall be suspended during a game because of unsuitable weather conditions or the unfit condition of the playing field; as to whether and when the play shall be resumed after such suspension; and as to whether and when a game shall be terminated after such suspension. He shall not call the game until at least thirty minutes after he has suspended play. He may continue the suspension as long as he believes there is any chance to resume play.

They believed that the base umpire has a say in whether or not a game should be suspended due to inclimate weather, but they were ignorant to the rule book in this case.

You are reading the rule book but missing the acceptable practices, procedures and nuances of baseball. The users you list do know everything you know but their knowledge is not limited to your one weakly written book.
The rule book is not to be taken so literally as you think. It is only a small part of the story.
Pick your fights wisely. This thread is locked.
