It's the first inning, and the ball is flying out of the park. Pitching coach Jim Riggleman wonders why the heck they're sending out a pitcher with runners on the bases. Riggleman doesn't know why, but he's convinced that if they can keep the ball in the park, they'll have a chance to win the game. He suggests that the infielders cover their bases with their gloves, so that if the offense gets a run, they can turn the ball over to the outfielders. He's not sure how to do it, but it sounds like a good idea to him. The ball is still flying high in the air, and Riggleman is sure that the runner is going to make a play at home, but the umpire calls the play a foul ball. The umpire tells Riggleman that the play is illegal, but Riggleman argues that the umpire should have called it a foul because the ball hit the umpire's glove. The foul ball is a foul one, so the umpire has to call it a fair one.
