Rules Myths

[SWFLguy]

what whiskers says may indeed influence us in our calls--
BUT
basically when you have the two events:
runner touching the base first
or
fielder touching the base with the ball in hand/glove first
if I can see one or the other CLEARLY
before the other event-- I easily can call
out or safe-
BUT
if I cannot separate the two events
I wil call the runner safe !!
the word TIE is not a factor to me at all.
