As opinions go, well ....... that is one. You want something different, you can enjoy what you like, and I will enjoy what I like.

Steve,

Thanx for your detailed and concise reply. As usual, your answer is clear and logical. I think the key for me was the part about our being able to recognize the play that is being attempted. My first reaction would be to make the call in that situation and I was looking for some experienced explanation about how to do so.

When you mentioned "no ball, no call", I remembered that. In fact, I've had plays like that and made no call as you described.

Also, thanx for the "w". I actually do know how to spell "wrath" - must've been lazy with the proofreading.

Many years ago, (early 80's) I was sitting around after work, enjoying a few beers with a co-worker from England. We were on our 4th or so beer when he says,

"You know what the biggest problem is with American beer?"

I said, "No, what?"

"Avoiding drowning."
