relative to the wall. Had his arm been over that wall I believe that shadow would have been closer to 90 degrees. At any rate, like I said earlier, when an ump sees a ball knocked out of the glove, what do you expect?

He catches that ball without interference. Morally I care not if that fan was a few inches to his side.

But Betts really needs a light on top of his cap, so other aircraft can see him at night.
