I assure you no umpires thought this. Maybe a decent (semi-dumb) question for a coach's quiz on rules... but truly a DUMB question on an umpire board that simply made you look uneducated.

It is a good reminder that home plate is in fair territory but any play directly behind the point of home plate is not. :)

Hands, please ... did ANYONE need this reminder? Anyone?

Think what you want. It doesn't matter. How many other guys ask the questions they know the answers to? Lots.

Using that logic, every person who writes a rules test must be an idiot. After all, only the uneducated would ask a question that they knew the answer to...so all of the test writers know the answers to their questions, they must all be uneducated.
