Text | In the case of foul balls, it has been argued that the “ins” thereby give a chance to be put out without–as in the case of a fair ball–their having any compensatory chance to score. To obviate this difficulty it is proposed to allow base-runners a chance to make a base on a caught foul ball, whether on the fly or bound, as in the case of fair fly ball caught. As it is now the base-player cannot leave his base on a foul ball until it is handled by the pitcher. This seems nothing more than a fair offset to the chances given for the out. |
