Baseball is the most storied of American sports, but not all the stories are true. As he said, if it prolongs the batter's at bat, then it is an error. Sounds like that scorekeeper is just behind on his rules.

It would be surprising to me that the official scorer would confuse the two situations. Petro, I'm not sure that is correct because you can only consider the current situation in determining if an error is committed. You can't consider what happens later and say, yes that's an error after all. That type of reconstruction, as OhioTex pointed out, is for determining ERs. As Team Mom quoted with the rule, it clearly says "whether the batter subsequently reaches first base or is put out".

In my case, the batter did go on to be put out, but my point to the scorer was, the at-bat was prolonged.

No caveat for "An error shall be recorded if the at-bat is prolonged unless it does not affect the game. Of course it affected the game. Apart from the batter's time at bat being extended, the pitcher had to throw more pitches. For example, in a game against Manchester City F. Another way in which fouls are controversially abused in sport is when players pretend to be fouled by another player.

This results in players receiving unfair penalties and the so-called 'victims' receiving free-kicks and other rewards unjustly. One sport where this practice is common is Association Football. In football players are known to perform Diving association football which is the practice of pretending to fall over as a result of an opponent tripping you over. Although diving produces outrage and controversy amongst many football fans, it is commonly practised amongst professionals and amateurs alike.

Referees come across these situations regularly. At such a fast tempo, they have to make a rash decision on whether or not the player performed a dive or they were legitimately fouled. A test by Peter G. Renden was done to determine if motor experience in football contributes to the ability to recognise dives in potential tackle situations.

This study showed, experienced players as well as referees were able to pin point the differences. In comparison, fans and novice participants that had little experience to recognise the difference between a dive and foul showed a lower result. Players also try to intimidate their opposing sides to give them a psychological edge.

Fans sadly encourage this sort of behaviour, feeling the tension rise and wanting to see reactions from players as a thrilling scene. Opposing sides like to get a retaliation from other players, forcing them into an aggressive attitude that will lead them down the track of unnecessary physical conduct.

This excitement fans get from visualising such unethical behaviour leaves them with the thoughts of such actions being alright. In some cases, the actual severity of fouls aren't always picked up by the referee during the game.

This results in the association of the sport to look into the issue further. For example, in Townsville Fire captain Rachel Flanagan was deliberately tripped by player Brigette Ardossi , although it was not seen at the time. The WNBL were considering to take further action on the unsportsmanlike foul. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Foul.
