Important Medical Information for Umpires — Part II
New UD/LMDM
By John Muller
September 8th, 2010

I went back to see my doctor for a checkup the other day, and the prognosis is pretty promising. The medication seems to be working, by golly, and the doctor didn't detect any serious side effects. And, I still haven't been ejected; after some of the calls I saw this past month, that's pretty remarkable.

Anyway, the person who had the appointment after mine had cancelled, so my doctor was nice enough to spend a few minutes explaining that UD thing he mentioned at the end of my previous visit. Some of the things I see at games make a lot more sense to me now.

Note by Dr. Michael Byron, Ph.D., Notre Dame: "Lagomorphic Desmegolomania (LMDM) derives from Greek, not Latin." The point of Dr. Byron's comment will become clear when you click the title and read the article inside.

Batter's Interference
Making the call
By Garth Benham
September 7th, 2010

We've all seen the look. Like a dear caught in the headlights, the umpire is staring at no one in particular although both the batter and catcher are close by. You can almost hear his brain whirling, the questions flying around his head: "What did I see? Did he move? Did it affect the play? Where IS the play? Good Lord, why me?" What happened here? Suddenly a coach screams: "That's batter's interference!!!"

Is it?

Go inside to see what Garth discovered about this oft-discussed infraction.
