| April 26 Teeter 3 posts | Where is any documentation of the "wet bag" rule? |
| April 26 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | No such reference to my knowledge in the SSUSA Rule Book ... What's the "back story" on your question, since that's not usually a random inquiry in someone's thirst to acquire obscure knowledge? ... But to start with, it's generally a safety based relaxation by an umpire of the requirement to actually step on a base when running in misty, rainy, foggy conditions ... |
| April 26 Teeter 3 posts | Thanks. Back story is our local league was looking for some more official guidance. Guess we already have it "On rainy days, in the interest of safety, and upon concurrence of both Managers, an exception to runners touching each base can be implemented. In such cases, the runner need only touch the ground near the base." That sounds similar so we'll keep it. Thought maybe someone had already defined in more detail. Not necessary. |
| April 27 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | Thanks ... That seems to me to be excellent wording for an umpire's judgment situation ... I'm impressed! ... |
| April 27 B.J. 1108 posts | Yes well written and easy to understand ... now if only we could get SSUSA to look at a few of their rules 😂 ( Hi Dave) |
| April 27 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | B.J. ... OUCH! ... But maybe you could lead the way? ... Fire up your Radio Shack TRS-80 with 8k of RAM and load your copy of WordStar v. 1.5 and we'll wait for your Rulebook revisions manuscript (maybe by the end of the decade!) ... Ha! |
