A lodged ball can be live?

[SAump]

Believe a recent {within 5 years} major league play involves situation where F3 loses sight of a thrown ball when blocking it w/ his body and then begins looking around everywhere only to discover it in his uniform.

Award B/R 2nd base?

[UmpTTS43]

When a ball enters a player's uniform, the ball is immediately dead. Awards are bases on judgement of the umpires.

There is only one senario where a "logded ball" is not dead and considered "live" and in play ....................



.................... when such "lodged ball" is in a glove.

This, of course, is not true for FED. 2 base award at time of "lodging."

Are you sure it's a 2 base award in FED? I know in FED a ball lodged in a glove cannot be removed from the players hand and thrown to F3 w/ the ball stilll lodged Ala (Terry Muholland)? I don't know for sure if it's automatic two base in FED for a ball lodged in glove. Can you post the rule or case play? I'll look tonight too.
