There's a saying "Don't look for trouble trouble will find you soon enough. In Illinois this seems to be "overlooked" as well. If safety is an issue sometime the home team will designate an area to store helmets etc. but only the on deck batter is allowed in the area. Also how about the coach being in uniform of his team? Usually the Head coach is but sometimes his assistant isn't. Or how about the rule that everyone is supposed to be in the dugout? In Illinois it seems that we allow the coach to sit or stand outside the dugout (if the dugout is a reasonable distant from fair territory) however we do keep the players in the dugout. Coaches are expendable! LOL.
