If he just touched the plate, this wouldn’t even be an issue. It’s the rule. He knows the rules. We all know the rules. It’s his own fault and nobody else’s. He screwed up. It’s not the rule’s fault. It’s his fault. All he had to do was touch the plate. And he didn’t. Touching the plate is how runs are scored. Hitting the ball in and of itself doesn’t score runs, even if it’s hit over the fence. Touching the plate does. He had a free run to touch the plate, and he didn’t do it. This doesn’t require a rule change just because someone screwed up once in the history of baseball. The rule isn’t stupid. It’s logical. Touching the plate scores a run. It’s not too much to ask.

It boils down to this, what would you teach a small child learning the game? Would you teach them to touch all the bases including home or teach them it's OK to skip a base here or there? We expect 6-7 year olds to touch every base while teaching but it's nonsense to expect a college aged kid to do the same? Talk about nonsense. The guy fricked up no matter the "everyone gets a trophy" way of trying to reconcile that fact.
