| Aug. 11, 2014 Matt43 22 posts | 7 run rule I agree with DD about 7 runs and 9 home runs when talking about 70 Major Plus. I play on a 70 Major Plus team and find SSUSA caught in the past when our players were 50 and 60. The home run rule is way over blown in the 70's. We have good hitters and have hit only 7 home runs total in 28 games. Looking at the other 2 Major Plus teams will show the same kind of results. Age and the ball contribute to the lack of home runs. I would like to see the 70 Major Plus go to the "one up rule" on home runs and enable us to all play Major. Thus giving us an opportunity to play many different teams. |

It's bad enough as it is. |
