I can remember a case where, with a superstar LHB, and me in B, I was WAY deep to stay behind the F3-F4 line, both of whom were playing on the grass ... but I could see other umpires potentially staying in a more normal spot and being ahead of that line.

Which could lead to the next rhetorical question, being:

In that positioning, are they still infielders? The ASA definition makes it possible they are not.
