Re: The grinch who stole a homer
Yep - take away the Pirates' 1960 World Series rings, because the third base coach patted Maz on the back as he rounded third on the series ending homer.

You can't have it both ways.
The bottom line is, the umpire didn't know the rules, and was suckered into making a bad call by an unscrupulous coach that had a "win at all costs" mentality and exhibited the worst of sportsmanship.

| That's why I hoped my last post cleared up my standing, I see nothing saying that they cant high five them. So I see no reason for them taking away the HR. Again I don't know if softball rules are different or NCAA. But I assume they don't follow MLB rules.
Regardless I officially change my position. Also what gets me is the coach forced the Ump to change the call. |
