Fernie, you know better than that. But Carl, you always talk about second. This was at third. Screw custom and tradition. If you are one of those, I urge you to reconsider.
Most amateur umpires don t wait to see if that glove actually touches the runner.
Most amateur umpires would rather not have to stop the game while the trainer attends to a bleeding second baseman. Consider the next play, though. Game Situation 5. R1 and R2. Ball hit to F6, who runs forward to tag R2.
