(a compilation of the series that ran in the Saturday Evening Post). It is a foul ball, even (and this was the case cited) if the ball hits the rubber, bounds back toward the plate, and the catcher grabs it while standing on the plate. -- The Ice Floe of Larry Bickford {decvax,ihnp4,allegra,ucbvax}!{decwrl,sun}!qubix!lab decwrl!qubix!lab@Berkeley.ARPA
