Here's the situation. It's the bottom of the ninth. There is one out. The score is 3-3. There are men on 1st and 3rd. The batter hits a deep fly ball foul into the right field corner near the wall. What is the correct play for the right fielder?

Unless the outfielder is pretty sure that he can throw the runner out at home, he should let the ball drop.

Yes sir. I learned it the hard way in an American Legion playoff game 12 years ago. Cost us a chance to go to states. Thought I could get him at home but I tailed the ball up the third base line. It still haunts me.

Let it drop dont take the risk off not getting him out at home.
