“first baseman whose foot was on the bag catching the ball”
Interestingly enough, in the replays during the game, the first basement’s foot was off the bag by 3 to 4 inches....
What annoys me the most regarding foot on the bag, are the double plays that are clearly wrong because of bogus foot dragging, but the runner is so late that “in a real world” he’d be out anyway, when in actuality, he was safe, because the dragged foor did not touch the bag. I have seen waaaay too many “outs” at second wrongfully called on double plays.
