Game management

[DaveASA/FED]

The shot heard round the world is just barly above the bell heard round the park once you ring it the play is dead. I learned timing on these calls a long time ago, small ball and guy behind the plate kills it as it is rolling up 3rd base line in foul territory toward grass (grass on both sides of dirt baseline) well the baseline was lower than the grass so it hit the incline and rolled and stopped a good 4-5" in fair territory.....but agian he rang the bell he ate it. When he confered with me, and said "What should I do?" "wait till it is touched next time in front of first or third before calling it foul or fair" then I told him he was going to have to eat it and go on. Taught him a lesson, and reassured me that long wait was worth it!!
