In the entire history of baseball (at least at the MLB level), you can count on one hand how many times 9.01(c) has been invoked.

As with many professions, ours (umpiring) is rampant with many who try to impose their poor; and ill-thought judgements on others. Rudementary reading and studying of the rules and interpretations is certainly preferable to the BS that some of our own try to perpetuate.

As is also true in our profession . . . there will be those of us that truly understand and know the rules; and there will be those "arm-chair lawyers" and without-a-clue "wannabees" that THINK they know the rules.

One can either "guess" at a ruling. Or "know" a ruling.

I prefer to be with the latter.

Jerry
