Test Question

Batter is touched by a batted ball. One foot is in the box and one is out at the time of contact. What’s the proper call?

Poorly written question. 

But, assuming a fair ball and ground contact by the foot in the box, foul ball in NFHS (FED) and NCAA. Out in OBR.

Thank you for the answer. You’re just like every other umpire I have ever met. An arrogant ass

I don't know how you could discern that from my response but my wife says you are correct but I know from experience on this site and the field that not all umps are asses. How many have you met? Did you take offense because you were the test writer? What code was the test intended for?

A man who blows out another man's candle won't make his own shine any brighter.

I would have bet $ your answer would be taken out of context.

Your "title" was confusing!  

Test Question?  

Don't come to an Umpire site with a Facebook mentality!

Better to be errogant than ignorant IMO

Gentlemen I would like to apologize to everyone. I had been up very late studying for the umpire test. I kept going over that question and couldn’t find a definitive answer. That’s no excuse for my reply. I was 100% out of line
