Nice bars, several restaurants and you just bought from wherever you wanted and found a seat and it was all latin inspired - peruvian, el salcador...

Yup. The runner could only go back, it wasn't even inherently the SS ball. Just awful. They changed the rule in 2013. Runners can advance on an IF fly rule. It was the correct call. I thought that was always the rule. If you wanted to try to tag up, so be it. Batter's out, runners are on their own.
