Bill Littlefield of "Only A Game"
By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, July 19, 2006.
From badminton to bowling, BMX racing to bodybuilding, Bill Littlefield has covered it all on his longtime NPR sports show, "Only A Game." Bill is speaking Sunday, July 23rd, at the Monadnock Summer Lyceum in Peterborough, and he joins us to talk about all things athletic - the afterglow of World Cup fever, the state of pro baseball, and if anyone is paying attention to the Tour de France post-Lance.

A question that has bugged me for years. 3 years ago, in the playoffs against Oakland, Mark Ellis missed the plate on a play at home, as Varitek missed the ball and went to chase it down. Instead of going back and tagging the plate, Ellis pushed Varitek. Since the ball was live and the play was still going on, why wasn't Ellis immediately out for interference? No one mentioned this afterwards, yet it seemed obvious that Ellis should have been out. Am I missing something?
