Infield fly rule

[greymule]

Once as PU I had my partner tell me that as soon as IF was called, the batter was out, so that was akin to a catch. The runners could tag up and run at that point. They didn't have to wait until the ball was caught.

The guy had recently been a college baseball hero, too. Only game I ever did with him.

He had similar "interesting" opinions on several other rules, too.

I have seen umps call the IF dead, too, after it drops and the fielders advance.
