"The play"

[mcrowder]

I can think of NO situation for which the proper fix would be a Do Over.

I can think of one that used to be in the ASA rule book

I can
If your're in the Twilight Zone using NFL refs who somehow see offsetting penalties.

The fielder using an illegal glove (used to include using a mitt when not play F2 or F3) results in the option of a do-over.

I cannot believe that was the official ruling; I have heard both Merle and Henry state many times that a do-over is not appropriate for anything other than the illegal glove/mitt. Someone is in error, I believe.

Let's not forget option "b" of an unreported sub making a play on defense

Ah, but those aren't options exercised by the umpire.

Umps may get done over but don't get do-overs.

A VERY veteran umpire on my HS and College board got away with it once. Here's the sitch:

College game - R1 on 2nd, no outs, 3-2 count on the batter. Runner off with the pitch, batter hits a screamer right at the shortstop who is blasted by the runner. My buddy kills the play for the obvious interference - only to see the pitcher turn around with the ball in her glove! Evidently, she made a helluva play! He asked his partner "how are we gonna get out of this?" to which his partner said, "what do you mean 'WE'?" He got both coaches together and said "here's what we are gonna do - runner back on 2nd, batter back in the box 3-2 count" - they both said "OK Jack, if you say so." I don't know of anyone else that could have pulled it off.
