In good spirits of the game, even Mr. Gunderson was caught smiling, and probably chuckling, as he was counted ‘out’.
And to quote a line from Star Trek - Deep Space Nine: “All the probabilities begin with the throw of the ball.”
Folks, can you see how much of a balliwick Sharia Law would have on this purely American game?
I know, I know, Congress has done enough on its own, to mar this American invention, haven’t they?
How about this 1999 play by yanks el duque

What if he had dropped the glove with the ball in it but the ball didn’t touch the ground, then he grabs the ball out of the glove?
Is it a fly ball out? Does the glove become part of the field when it leaves his hand and therefor he would have to throw the guy out at first?
I have always wondered what would happen if an outfielder, instead of watching ball about to go over the fence for a homerun, if he were to throw his glove at the ball and hit it? If the ball came down in the field of play, would it be in play then? Not be a homerun? What if the outfielder caught the ball, would it be an out?
That was great.
