He just can't have a foot down in the stands before the catch - correct?

Right. Rule 5.09(a)(1):

“A fielder may reach into, but not step into, a dugout to make a catch, and if he holds the ball, the catch shall be allowed. A fielder, in order to make a catch on a foul ball nearing a dugout or other out-of-play area (such as the stands), must have one or both feet on or over the playing surface (including the lip of the dugout) and neither foot on the ground inside the dugout or in any other out-of-play area. Ball is in play, unless the fielder, after making a legal catch, steps or falls into a dugout or other out-of-play area, in which case the ball is dead.”

BEGIN RANT- Red Sox fans are upset that the 2–7 start of the 2026 season is the worst start in Red Sox history for the first nine games.

I’m going to restrain myself from saying something profane like “Oh my heck, sit on a tack you silly persons!”

But if that’s the worst it’s been in the first nine games in 126 years I think they may want to reconsider this impertinent complaint. -END RANT

Konnor Griffin gets 9 years $140+ million. There have been a few extensions this year. Maybe they will get something done for McGonigle and Clark.

I get the sense that Clark is the type who won't sign an extension.

Clark wants the bright lights. He will bolt at his first chance.
