    tzemaitis: You wrote, “The players have a responsibility to continue to play, and the batter is typically safe at first…”.  Isn’t the batter out on an infield fly?  I guess a better question on my part would be, is an obvious infield fly an infield fly even if not called so by the umpiring crew as was stated in the original post by jrock1214?
