billroperHere are a couple of questions about the infield fly rule for a lazy Saturday morning. Let's see who knows the answers. Tell me what you do and why. Parents do not get to play. :)
Runners on first and second. There is one out. The batter hits a pop fly on the infield and the umpire raises his hand straight up and shouts "Infield fly".
1) You are the batter. What do you do?
2) The second baseman catches the ball on the fly. You are the runner who was on first. Where should you be?
3) The ball is popped to the third baseman. You are the runner on second. For some mysterious reason, you are halfway between second and third when the third baseman drops the ball. She casually picks up the ball, steps on the third base bag, and throws the ball back to the pitcher. What should you do?
