This past summer I was treated to viewing one of those baseball donnybrooks in
which managers and players are freely tossed out of the game. It came on a play that you
would not think should be the cause of such consternation: a home run over the
centerfield wall. It seems things were a bit complicated in this minor league park. In
order for it to be a home run, the ball had to clear a yellow line where the flat level of an
outdoor restaurant met the wall of the ballpark.
