| Feb. 20, 2019 Larry S | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: foul tip question In our senior league we have modified the foul tip rule to read that any foul tip that goes directly to the catchers glove is an out. We have an umpire saying there was a rule one time stating that if a foul tip was not cleanly caught, it was not an out. ie: if the ball popped out of the catcher's glove, but he caught it before it hit the ground, it would not be an out. Did such a rule ever exist? |

| Sept. 28, 2017 Larry S | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield fly interpretation So in the umpires judgement that with the sun/wind condition the ball may not be caught with reasonable effort, the infield fly rule not being called would be correct? |
| Sept. 28, 2017 Larry S | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield fly interpretation If field conditions are such that wind & sun are affecting pop ups to the left side, is a pop up in the infield to the left side still automatic infield fly rule? We had that in the game today & umpire did not call infield fly because of the wind & sun & shortstop did not catch the ball. |

I heard on my grapevine that there were 10 60+ teams signed up for Richmond. You could send the TD Scott Southworth an email for more info. |
| April 19, 2010 Larry S | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: To screen or not to screen... We have been using the screen for two years in Charlottesville twice a week for games and have yet to have an issue over the screen getting in the way or causing a controversy. It has not stopped anyone from having fun. When you hit the ball & hit the screen,its a dead ball. Larry |

| April 1, 2009 Larry S | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What Rule covers runner returning to 2nd to avoid tag? What actually happened in the pickup game was when the runner going to 3rd stopped & reversed direction to avoid being tagged, the shortstop yelled "out", he reversed directions. What print rule covers this? |
| April 1, 2009 Larry S | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What Rule covers runner returning to 2nd to avoid tag? the 3rd baseman doesn't step on 3rd, he starts running the runner back to 2nd. Does he have to run him all the way back before runner out? |
