Okay, what do you call on the appeal?

You are the PU on this play, what do you call?

Without the benefit of hindsight or replay?

I am very tempted to call him safe anyway, but his arm and body is high enough over the plate a she goes over that I think I could see it. I'd call him out, and then eject about 3 guys who would argue the call.

However, a long time ago, there was a discussion about this on a list serve of umpires put together by Mr. Childress, that Tee and several others on this board were a part of.

As I remember the conversation, there was a consensus that if it is close, with very little space between the runner's arm or body and the plate, call him safe.
