My understanding of the rules is that in FED the pitcher may touch his pitching hand to his mouth while on the mound as long as he wipes off that hand before it touches the ball. In OBR the pitcher may not touch his pitching hand to his mouth anywhere within the dirt portion of the pitching mound[Baseball Rules Differences 17th Edition *336 [pg 62]
My experience doing Connie Mack ball in the summer is that expectations of pitchers and coaches is that this will be called using OBR the same way it is called in High School i.e. the pitcher can do so on the mound [but not the rubber] as long as he wipes it off. This is the way we call it in Nassau County on Long Island. Any comments?

I see this all the time, we got Senior Babe Ruth out west here, Colt for the younger ones. Heck, I like the FED rule, saves time and confusion for F1! Just lick and wipe....But, I don't nail em on it in summerball. I like the smiley dude you put in What coding is this, never seen it before. Any others????

Amazing how quick you're asked for lessons on something you just learned. Check out Warren's response On Changing Calls. It's posted earlier tonight on the fourth page.
