Concerning the other comments about the "phantom double play": As you know, I'm still working. It's true I don't call NCAA D1 anymore, and I don't call 14u or below except when I'm evaluating an umpire. But from 15 through MSBL, I still work regularly. I was picked again last year for the high school state tournament playoffs.

Perhaps it's different in our part of the country, but down here, "if he would have been out, he is out."

Of course, you need to read all the entries about phantom calls to get the full dose.

Guarantee holds: Buy it, don't like it: I'll return your money, you keep the BUE.

The book will be here soon enough and I'll read it cover to cover and back again. I posted the link earlier but Amazon makes it easy enough to find it. As you are a traditionalist, "Merry Christmas" to you and yours from this yankee Cub fan. Enjoy the season, baseball will be here soon enough.
