With Rickey Henderson on second, Mark McGwire hits a towering pop-up that is veering toward the stands in foul territory. Frank Thomas follows it to the wall and makes the catch. However, after hauling in the catch, Thomas' momentum causes him to fall into the stands. What's the call?For what it's worth, in the two trivia cards that I've pulled so far (the other one occurred in last night's post), I'm 0-2 in terms of getting the question correct. I guess I don't know baseball's rules like I thought I did!
A. Both McGwire and Henderson are out.
B. McGwire is out, and Henderson may advance at his peril.
C. McGwire is out, and Henderson advances one base.
D. McGwire is out, and Henderson cannot advance.
Cal Ripken Jr. rips a Randy Johnson curve, and the ball is on its way out of Camden Yards. However, before going over the fence, the ball hits a wayward seagull. Jay Buhner catches the bird, and Griffey Jr. picks the ball up the ground and fired to second, where Ripken Jr. is tagged. What's the call?I wish option D were correct because that's hilarious. And, if you've seen some of Buhner's baseball cards, you could easily imagine him catching a dying seagull in the air!
A. The ball was obviously leaving the yard. Ripken Jr. gets a homer.
B. Ripken Jr. receives a ground rule double.
C. The play is live, and Ripken Jr. is out at second base.
D. Ripken Jr. is out because Buhner caught the bird.
