Reply to "How many stolen bases credited?"

Prime I have seen that one before. And then there is the foul tip into the glove. Runner steals second hears the foul tip off the metal bat and then starts walking back to first. The catcher has caught the foul tip which keeps the play live and throws your runner out as he is heading back to first base.

Please make the umpire make you go back son!

Then there is the situation one time I ran across in a state playoff game. Runners at 1st and 2nd. Two outs. Sixth inning tie ball game. Coach calls a time out to talk to his hitter. The runners at 1st and 2nd walk over to the 3b dugout to talk to another coach. When the time out is over the runners go to 2nd and 3rd. The batter gets back in the box. The umpire says play ball and I go off. I try to explain to the umpires the runners are on 1st and 2nd not 2nd and 3rd. The umpires tell me to get back in the dugout. I try and show them the scorebook. The fans are going crazy. Their coach is telling the umpire to throw me out if I dont get back in the dugout.

Next batter K's and thank God. I probably would have been arrested.
