Hilarious...

I just wanted to note that there was another official source- one which no one had yet quoted- with an official interpretation to cover this exact play.

Being the ASA Case Book, it should probably be the first source referenced to help explain a ruling.

I thought that maybe after a handful of 500 word essays explaining why you think the ruling shouldn't have been what it was, you might be interested in an official source explaining that it was exactly what it should have been.

Steve quoted it.

Sorry - RKB quotes a monthly case play, not the case book. And Steve refers to it.

My bad.

Silly umpires...wanting to see things in print to believe them. MD's right that Steve referenced the rule, and Bret's right that Steve never quoted it per se. Regardless, the regulars on the board are all singing the same song, and pretty much the same ruling. Except for NCAA, non-called IFF's can be fixed.
