Tom,funny you mentioned level and infield fly rule.Same one man j.v. game and freezing cold with about a 25mph wind blowing straight in.The other coach whines because a pop-up that blows down from what should have been center lands 20 feet from his secondbaseman should be a infield fly!I tell him in this weather I have to use my judgement and its going to be tough for anything to be a infield fly.He says i'm wrong because the rule is clear on a i.f.So I said we agree to dis agree and he sits down.What are you going to do?

You: Coach, do you know what constitutes an infield fly?

Coach: Damn right, I've been coaching for (enter number here) years!

You: So, coach, you are aware that it must be a pop-up which can be caught by an infielder with normal effort, right?

Coach: Of course, I knew that!

You: Well, since you didn't have an infielder anywhere near that ball, which one did you think was going to grab it with ordinary effort? Coach? Okay, let's play ball.
