OK, high school freshman ball . . . routine fly ball to center, fielder camps under the ball, only he's come in one step too many and has to reach back for the ball at the last second. He ends up failing to make the catch, not even getting a glove on the ball. There is no wind and lighting isn't a factor. It's generally assumed if the ball doesn't touch leather no error has been committed, but in this case the ruling is E8. Agree or disagree?
