Actually, I think that is exactly what we have. Clearly this is not a safe call. The umpire is calling time. What we did not see was the delayed dead ball signal for obstruction by the catcher. A play has now been made on the runner and the umpire is about to declare the obstruction and award the runner home.

As for the dual-mask, I will guess that this game was played on the planet Endor and that just might be Darth Vadar working the plate. On the play in question, The Republic (the catcher is Han Solo) is on defense (the runner is a storm trooper) which brings the validity of the obstruction call into question.

I guess i see it different from the rest of you. I see the umpire celebrating a win with arms raised and yelling "we win, we win".
