Also, this has been one of my pet peeves for a while now:
"Eckstein chases it, but it's foul by ten feet."
Every game, someone catches a ball that's foul by ten feet. It should be "Eckstein chases it, but it's out of play by ten feet."
or, IMO better still:
"Eckstein gives chase, but it goes out of play."
Most announcers don't know ten feet from three miles.
