Hudson makes catch, KO'ed

[Larry1953]

Padres F4 Orlando Hudson made a sensational diving catch of a foul pop today (7/21). He immediately slid head first into the wall and knocked himself completely unconscious. Jim Evans says he has a problem with the definition of a catch because it says a fielder must have [control of his body] AND voluntary /intentional release. Evans said it would be better to rewrite the rule with OR instead. I think there was a case like this in Knotty Problems of Baseball(?) where in the olden days a teammate would take the ball out of the KO'ed player's glove to get around the voluntary release part. In today's game U1 signalled out without any hesitation and then motioned for assistance. Thank goodness Hudson is OK after his KO with no neck injury.
