Okay, now tell me the difference in allowing a play on a non-existant runner and allowing a throw on a non-existant third strike?

If you are going to presume the catcher "thought" she was doing the right thing in one instance, why is that this "presumption" would not apply to the other?

Stirring up trouble? Maybe! [/B][/QUOTE]

Hmmm... are you going to tell me that the Player who is running down the line, complete with uniform, helmet and spikes is non-existent? Is there some difficulty with the space/time continuum at the parks in which you've been umpiring?

Whereas, a strikeout with only two strikes is very much non-existent, except in leagues that have "two strikes and you're out" rules.

What the heck... I've been a wisenheimer since I was a kid, so why quit now?
