What was this? Some kind of sick morphing together of the foul tip rule, the infield fly rule, and the hockey blue line?http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung...smiley-022.gif

Kinda makes the obstruction "confusion" among umpires pale by comparison.

of course if he had a partner, and you protested, the call may have been changed on the spot. In our association when a protest is upheld both blues donate their pay for the night to our favorite charity,http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/mica/FoodBeer.gif, unless the one making the call refuses to listen to his partner.

Wow. Weird, weird, call.
