johnny,

WTF are you talking about ?

What page of the "MLB manual" states that?

What "part" was added to what "rule"?

I agree with what Steve said that lapopez quoted. The players should know whether the conditions are in place for an IFF call - but, if it not obvious to everyone whether or not the ball could be caught with "ordinary effort" by an infielder, the umpire's judgement governs as to whether it is or is not an IFF.

And I call BS on your "cites".
