I made a mistake based on what, your opinion?

I can't name an umpire that I work with who would not consider a ball hit "to the left of the first baseman" or "to the first baseman's left" down the line. The fielder's perspective is what is considered.

The whole "left of" issue has deflected the reason for my response to your "First day on a softball field?" comment. Stay on point "Big Time".
