Yep, just like a football pass is live until it hits the ground, so too is a fly ball an out until it touches earth.

If you are a runner on second base and the ball gets hit to the shortstop...when are you supposed to run? I've seen runners go and stay with varying degrees of success. What's proper baseball etiquette?

The way players are taught, if you're on 2nd and the ball is hit in front of you (to 3rd or short), stay on the base and see how the play unfolds. If you're on 2nd and the ball is hit behind you (2nd or 1st), take off for third.

Of course during the playoffs, I've seen a few players who forgot that and have gotten thrown out at third lol.

Amazing that they're so late - didn't they used to handle the awards during the World Series?

If I remember, I think they are a little early. I always thought they were announced at the winter meetings.

CC Sabathia has been traded at the perfect time for me to ask this question

what if he had been voted to the AL All-Star team ?

[Lefty Noob]

Wow, simon, that's a really great question. One I don't know the answer too off the top of my head.
I'll see if I can find an answer, but if I had a guess, I'd say he could play for the AL if he wanted to put would most likely withdraw.
