Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5123525, member: 1131"] If the screener is really "perfectly still", I do not recall many instances where the screener is called for a foul. But often, the screener (while keeping her feet planted) will throw out a shoulder or a hip to get in the path of the defender. That is a valid foul, and is often called. It should be called the Reggie Jackson foul, since it is similar to Reggie's famous play in a Yankees-Dodgers World Series game in the late 1970's. As a baserunner in the late innings, Reggie threw out his hip to be hit by a Dodger player's double play relay throw, and somehow did NOT get called for interference. That no-call changed the outcome of the game. [/QUOTE]
