by unnecessary roughness which
might cause the fielder to drop the

In many plays at the plate, ball
and baserunner reach the objective
at almost the same time. Such plays
always make for argument as the
contention is invariably raised that
the runner has been blocked prior
to the arrival of the ball.
If the umpire is positive the
blocking has been done before the
arrival of the ball, he should call
the runner safe, regardless of the
outcome of the play.
