All have made good point but I'm not sure I agree with their final answer.

What was F6 doing? Was he attempting to get to the ball and just couldn't make it (and no one else could get there either) - not an in-field fly. You made the right NO-call.

Did you have a partner? If so, apparently he didn't think it was an in-field-fly either.

However, if F6 was lolly-gagging around and you felt he saw this high pop fly as an opportunity to fool the offense by not catching the easily fielded ball - then it likely was an in-field-fly and you should have made the call. Afterall there were at least three runners that thought he was going catch the ball - that is why they stayed on base.

I have never heard of any rule-of-thumb about squared shoulders and think this might confuse the issue of ordinary effort.

just some thoughts.... my first post here!
