During the 2012 NL Wild Card game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves, a fly ball was hit by St. Louis. Atlanta let the ball drop due to miscommunication, but an umpire called "infield fly rule." <sub>The ball clearly lands deep in the outfield, near the red circle below.</sub> ![Infield Fly][1] Do the umpires have grounds to call "infield fly rule" when a fly ball will clearly land that deep in the outfield? What are the rules regarding the "infield fly rule?" [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/lSxAl.jpg
