I would LOVE to have an umpire with me for baseball and an official for football. I was sitting next to a clock operator during a few football games and asked them to correct me if I made a mistake in explaining a rule and they all politely declined. I understand why they decline, but I would rather be right than sound stupid on the air. There are enough of us who do that. Thanks to you all for your responses, and for participating on these forums. I learn a lot here. |

While the former is patently absurd and ridiculous, the latter is true of an umpire working in the B or C position (in the infield), but not when working in A (beyond first base behind F3). The reason for this is in A the ball is kept alive because it has passed an infielder other than the pitcher (i.e. F3). In B or C, the ball has not yet passed a fielder other than the pitcher, and is immediately dead when it hits an umpire. The batter is credited with a single and all runners forced to advance do so.

Also, while generally true, an umpire can be hit in B or C and it not be a dead ball. |

Learn the difference between OBS and INT... and as mentioned earlier, learn what a foul tip really is and what it means when it happens.
