Father’s Day Special: 1000 words on the infield fly rule from my dad

Related Topics: Father's Day

Yesterday morning, I got a text message from my baseball-loving dad. “Hey, I have a suggestion for your Saturday column: Father’s Day guest column by your father on the topic ‘Infield Fly Rule’. Of course I will include Red Sox content.” He’s fascinated by the infield fly rule and thinks not enough people know about the generalities or the minutiae of it; growing up, he often told me, “The best way to impress a guy is to tell him how the infield fly rule works.” He also likes to write and he’s pretty good at it.
