Hudson makes catch, KO'ed

[Rich]

I had a player knocked out in a Legion game over the fourth of July.

Two outfielders collided. Bases empty, I was the plate umpire and I busted out to get a good look at the catch. The fielder that was knocked out had the ball in his glove. At that point, I called the batter out and called for the coach to get out to his player. The other outfielder retrieved the ball from the other fielder's glove, but by then the coach was already near the outfielder and the out long recorded.

I know the rules/guidelines for a catch as well as anyone, but there's an old saying about picking up the wrong side of the stick, too.
