Yep, you'r right about 2nd base...never thought of it that way.
on't see the distance though. 70' - 12'(for the plate) = 69' - 15" (for the base) = 67'9"
Or where am I missing six inches?(watch it!) Oh well the purpoe of the excercise was to illustrate to a guy who signs as a baseball/softball ump on a football board that all is not the same elsewhere.
