I was informed of the term "Rat" sometime between 1982 and 1986.
When I attended Brinkman in '82 the term was not used at the school.
When I came back in '86 (for only the last three weeks, so I could have missed references during the first three weeks) the term was in every day use.
HOWEVER, in 1983 or '84 the term was in full use in the NORPAC.
I actually believe that the term was coined in Texas.
That is my best memory of the situation.
It was probably used in Little League far before that (that was meant to be humorous).
