Baseball rules corner: division, League Championship Series featured unusual plays.
THIS 2002 POSTSEASON CREATED fan interest in a variety of ways during the division and League Championship Series. Rules buffs enjoyed a smorgasbord that should satisfy their baseball appetites throughout the winter.
Game 2 NLDS:
In the bottom of the seventh inning, the Diamondbacks had Alex Cintron on second and Tony Womack on first with two outs when Junior Spivey hit a ground ball to Cards' third baseman Scott Rolen. Cintron, en route to third, crashed into Rolen and got tangled up with him. It was a case of blatant runner's interference (7.08-b; 7.09-1). Cintron was called out ending the inning and maybe the hopes of the D'Backs who were trailing, 1-0. Arizona eventually lost the game.
Rolen was seriously injured and did not play the remainder of the postseason.
Game 3 ALDS:
With the Angels trailing the Yankees, 6-5, in the bottom of the seventh inning at Anaheim, the Angels had Garret Anderson on second and Troy Glaus at first with pinch-hitter Shawn Wooten at the plate. With Mike Stanton pitching, a strike was called, but third base umpire Lance Diaz had called "time" just before the pitch because a beach ball rolled onto the field. The strike was erased from the count. Wooten subsequentty popped to second. Scott Spiezio then singled to tie the game.
