Re: Old Stars



During a close play at first base the 1st base man runs back and
to his left to snag a ground ball. The pitcher runs to cover first.
The first baseman tosses the ball toward 1st base even though the pitcher
is not there yet. But the pitcher gets there befor the ball because it
takes a while for the ball to get there. The ball comes from the
direction of where the 1st baseman was when he threw it, not where he
is when the pitcher catches it. Furthemore in the unlikely event that
the 1st baseman wrote the time that he caught the ball on it before he
threw it the pitcher would find it labled with the time it was fielded
not the time it got to first base.
