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.
