If, in the judgment of the Umpire, a runner attempting to score initiates contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate) in such a manner, the Umpire shall declare the runner out (even if the player covering home plate loses possession of the ball). Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score.

'Yankee Miracles' Author Ray Negron to Sign at Empire City Casino Nov. 5 Longtime Yankees Advisor, Community Relations Leader
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Taryn Duffy 914-457-2431 [email protected] John Cirillo 914-260-7436 [email protected] 'Yankee Miracles' Author Ray Negron To Sign At Empire City Casino Nov. 5 Longtime Yankees Advisor, Community Relations Leader October 19, 2012 – In 1973, young Ray Negron's life changed forever when, while spray painting graffiti on the outside of Yankee Stadium, he was caught by none other than Principal Owner George Steinbrenner. Rather than turn in the 18- year-old Queens youth to police, the Boss gave Ray a job as Yankees batboy, to pay off the cost of the damages. Given the second chance, Negron thrived. Now he tells his amazing story, which includes close friendships with some of the game's greatest stars and personalities (Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson and Billy Martin, to name a few) as well as a career as a community leader and Yankees advisor, in his new book Yankee Miracles, which recently reached the top spot for both new biographies and baseball books on the Amazon.com list. On Monday, November 5, Negron will meet fans, pose for photographs and sign copies of Yankee Miracles at Empire City Casino (810 Yonkers Ave., Yonkers, N.Y.) from 6-7 p.m., open to the public. Then from 7-9 p.m. he will conduct a special reading and Q&A session at an elite dinner event in the casino's Good Time Room. The antithesis of Ball Four or The Bronx Zoo in tone, Yankee Miracles does not dwell on steroids, drug use, or scandals, but creates a portrait of baseball that is unapologetically affectionate told by someone, a baseball insider, who was given a very unique second chance. -
