That is so true. Yesterday, durring a Babe Ruth game, F1 picked off R3 from the windup. The defensive manager came out to argue with me. He went along saying that F1 can't throw to a base from the windup, and I camly explained to him that that is a FED rule. This only fueled him more, and unable to hold back his anger any more, the manager decided to slide on the ground. I promptly ejected him from the game. No one slides on the ground in front of me and gets away with it.
