Really? So if this hit the bat instead of the hand, you have abandonment here? Why? How can you abandon a base you haven't attained, for one. How can you call it when the player is still on the field and the ball is still fair? I bet you that if all of us work every week for 40 more years, MOST of us will still not have seen a legitimate abandonment call.
