Was the BR safe or out?

Depends....did F3 touch first base BEFORE or AFTER the batter-runner did?


You have already been told the correct answer, but I'm kind of surprised that nobody in this group picked up on that......

Actually, Rita did.

That was funny.

You don't know how often I can say something correct and no one notices.

Comes from being an introvert.

Bob, does your last name begin with M?

No.
I almost posted a similar thought until I realized you had already done it.
