Strange. He's from MA. His former employer is in NJ. But he's a "PA" home inspector? Not that I'm, as a PA home inspector, being defensive or anything.

John,

The article was from a Philly newspaper web site and there is a Mansfield in PA. I assumed he was a PA inspector. If there is a Mansfield in NJ and he is a NJ inspector . . . my bad.

It is confusing, ain't it. But the article says its from the Burlington (NJ) County Times, and yes, there is a Mansfield in NJ.
Hey, I'm still on vacation, writing from the Jamestown, RI library and keeping track of the Phillies-Mets game online. Obviously I have too much time on my hands.

Too bad you weren't able to catch the game on TV John. It was a hair-raising win.

John check out Block Island. I think one hour ferry. Great day trip or more.
Newport is nice for a day.

Mansfield, MA also.

John,

I was just reading the Official Rules of Major League Baseball. It says:

Rule 6.05 (m)

A batter is out when a preceding runner shall, in the umpire's judgment, intentionally interfere with a fielder who is attempting to catch a thrown ball or to throw a ball in an attempt to complete any play.

How often do you see that rule enforced?

(Answer: More often than you think. Especially when C.B. Bucknor is umpiring 2nd Base. 8/29/07 Phillies-Mets. 5/25/04 Tigers-Royals. Both interference calls were game-ending calls. Weird, huh?)
