I hate to read this, because it usually is used in the context of asking umpires to ignore/distort a playing rule or two *grin*
Agreed. I have always felt, though, that teaching the kids how to play the game correctly (sportsmanship, mechanics, decision-making, and rules) is the primary reason we have recreational youth sports programs. That is why I hate rules at young levels that encourage kids to attempt plays that are usually the wrong decision at a higher age.
