Thanks Webbie.
Swanky, bad rumor. I asked that very question last week. I was told not for 3 or 4 years.

The problem isn't with the bat, it with the cold hard balls.

Discussion: Pitching Rule

The rule is somewhat misleading. Rule says ball in front of body. I guess it can be inside of glove.
I don't think I've ever seen a pitcher called on this, or even the one second pause.

Discussion: Eastern Nationals

I had a problem with mud by the first base dugout created by a sprinkler head. I asked the base umpire if we could correct it and between innings the grounds crew fixed it.
Great tournament!!

My guess would be between 40 and 70. Just a guess

It's amazing how long a bat will last if you leave it home!

Discussion: Dumb Question

Kevin, is there any difference between orange/yellow and green/yellow spinners?
BTW, yesterday I broke my 10" 30oz senior gear that I got from you. It had more distance than my other bats.
Hope you are doing well.

Discussion: You make the call

I agree with Nancy on 2 and 3 but maybe not 1.
Vegas is notorious for batters boxes being short. Ump should have checked this out before the first pitch. If he didn't then make the call.

Discussion: Mask requirement when using pitching screen

In our 45+ league here in Marietta, GA we use a screen. It is placed with in 18 inches of the rubber and we pitch around it. Masks are not required.
We are also not required to stay behind the screens.
I pitch and know which hitters to stay behind the screen and which ones I can venture out. :)

Discussion: Cataract Surgery

I too had cataract surgery in both eyes about 18 months ago.
I opted for the lenses which only correct far away vision. I still need readers. The surgery sharpened my distance vision and
I would highly recommend it!

Discussion: You make the call

Perl, same thing happened to me about a month ago. I was baserunner, catcher tagged me after crossing commitment line. There was no call to I tried to run home. The catcher blocked my way to the scoring plate as he was attempting to reach home plate.
The umpire called me out. I contended that after he tagged me after crossing the commitment line the play should have been called dead.
He disagreed with me. After the game the UIC said should have been dead.
We won the game easily so no problem with us.
Back to your question, umpire is correct.
I believe SPA and SSUSA rules are the same.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.:)
