This is a video from the 1975 World Series, Game 6. In this situation, the Boston Red Sox has the game-winning run on
third (bottom 9th inning, bases loaded, 0 outs - a walk would win it for the Red Sox). The Cincinnati Reds outfielders
moves in (as close as they have to), to be able to reach home plate with a good throw.
The batter hits a fly ball to [left fielder] George Foster (who has a very strong throwing arm). The runner on third is waiting (with one foot on the bag) till the ball is caught, then he goes. To get him out, the catcher must tag him (with the ball in his glove or hand), because the runner is not forced to run (he can return to third base).
If the runner scores, the Red Sox wins the game.
If Cincinnati gets him, it’s a double play (2 outs).
[The score is 6-6. Cincinnati leads the series, 3-2.]
