2012 North Carolina American Legion State Tournament Thread

Than why say it was the worst call in the world if they didn't score enough runs?

DUDE...THE CATCHER DIDN'T DROP THE BALL...THE CATCHER MADE THE CATCH AND TAG ABOUT TWO TO THREE FEET UP THE THIRD BASE LINE...THE CATCHER POPS UP AND TOSSES THE BALL OUT OF HIS GLOVE LIKE A LOT OF PLAYERS DO ON THIRD OUT AND GOES TOWARD THE DUG OUT. BOBBY DALE COME RUNNING DOWN THE THIRD BASE LINE AND POINTS OUT THAT THE BALL IS ON THE GROUND. THE UMPIRE AT THIS TIME PROBABLY DID THINK THAT HE DROPPED IT. BUT THE KID ACTUALLY TOSSED THE BALL OUT OF HIS GLOVE.

That's what appeared to happen from my view point...I'm shooting straight with you dude...games over ...but I talked to at least a dozen people who I respect their judgement on a close call. All their view's were the same with the exception of one guy who told me that he dropped the ball. Made me wonder maybe I thought I seen him toss the ball. I looked on the replay's and the view is to far away to see the ball come out. Can't tell if he tossed it or it came out. I really wish there was closer view of the play. Where were you sitting when you seen the play

If anything good comes of this, I hope young guys see that there's no need to "flip" the ball in the air after a 3rd out. There are a lot of little things that guys these days are doing to try and be showtime. Just play the game the way it's supposed to be played, determine a winner, shake hands, go on your own way.

Congratulations to Wilmington Post 10 on winning the 2012 NC American Legion Baseball Championship!!

 

Watch the second video. The catcher clearly lost control of the ball. The ump made the correct call.
