Talking Depends on what side of home they are on.

Tee accurately stated:

I have found that the "neighborhood play" at second base on the pivot is accepted by 99.99999% of players, coaches and umpires at levels where the players are old enough to shave.

Inexperienced umpires will eventually learn that the game of baseball is NOT always played as to the written rule.


I will add that in my experience some coaches will accept, nay, expect the neighborhood call when on defense, yet protest vehemently when on offense. Very similar to a knee high outside corner strike.
