"Is the batter out because he bunts foul (dead ball and F2 can't try to eliminate R1 on first base)"

Carl Childress

Anyone know how Carl Childress is?
Haven't seen anything concerning him for a long time.
Always enjoyed his opinion and stories and hope he is doing well in what I assume is retirement.

My memory is the book says the lane violation has to do with opportunity to "catch" or receive the throw. Not throw it.

Tuss
You haven't missed one if five years?

If you don't see it, it is very dificult to know you didn't see it.
