Bolpe should've been safe. Hi is was setup to take the throw already in the baseline. Oh, yes, it was against the Yankees, blocking the plate is allowed.

the plate wasn't blocked at the time Volpe approached. the catcher shifted his right leg out of the way, allowing Volpe the front of the plate.

check the rules.

the catcher needn't allow all of the plate as long as he allows the runner a clear path.

probably happened too late in the day for some of us,

but a view on a morning replay might draw out a nice comment

Imagine if Fried hadn't pitched like Ken Clay. We'd be 2 back with 3 to play and have the tie-breaker.

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
