Text | [from a letter to the editor] Can an umpire make a player running for a home run touch his bases? And if he goes over the first base without touching it, and makes a home run, can he be put out at first base by the baseman holding the ball on the base after the run was scored? I make a home run the other day in a match, and because I did not touch the base (though I passed outside of it) the ball was sent there, and I was decided out. Was it is fair decision? [answer:] It is absolutely necessary that every base should be touched, but especially the first base. The umpire was correct in deciding you out. |
