Baseball rules corner: here are the fine points of umpire interference.
TO SAY THAT UMPIRES ARE treated like dirt is not a stretch of the imagination. Take what happened in Game 1 of the 2004 World Series played between the Red Sox and Cardinals at Fenway Park.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Manny Ramirez hit a shot down the third base line that caromed off the stands and struck Gerry Davis, the left field line umpire. Ramirez was held to a single on the play.
Whenever an umpire is hit by a batted ball and is stationed behind the infielders, the ball remains live and in play since the umpire is considered part of the ground or (let me clear my throat) dirt! In such cases, there is no interference.
