Let me say one thing in his defense that may have been a contributing factor. How do you call a close play at first? You watch the players foot and listen for the ball hitting the glove. That's how I was taught. I was told it's the only way. It's almost impossible to mess that up.

However, in a big game with an enormous crowd the noise might drown out the impact of the ball, then you're screwed, or at least I would be. Thankfully I never had that problem.
