I remember a Cubs infielder getting knocked cold on a pop-up a few years back and the ball was still in his glove when the ambulance left the park. You saying that wasn't a catch?

Are you such a nut case on the strict interpretaton of things in non-baseball matters? Have you ever rolled through a stop sign, for example? Driven a "couple" of MPHs over the limit? When making cookies how much time do you spend making sure all the ingredient measurements are perfect? Is your oven temperature exactly 350 degrees F? How tall are you to the nearest millimeter?

Rich, the link I provided was from 2008 and you had several posts in the thread. Reading through that thread several members seemed to acknowledge that Jim Evans taught at his school that the ball was still "in flight" when it was in an unconscious fielder's glove and the catch was only completed when the ball was taken out of the glove by a teammate. Now, it may not be as much fun as making gratuitous slaps at me, but discussing that "point" is probably within the scope of this forum.

Of course it is, and your opinion is the correct one. Some posters just haven't realized the flaws in their thought process yet.

Please, post some more old threads and situations, accompanied, of course, with your thoughtful analysis.
