Anyone else see the following new release:
"A truck accident in 1993 left David Oddi a double amputee.
But the high school baseball coach will continue to stand in the third base coaching box - supported by two prothetic legs and crutches - following settlement of a federal lawsuit.
Oddi sued the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association on Thursday over a March 1 ruling that said he could not stand in the box because he uses crutches."

Next you know umpires will have to decide for themselves whether or not the potential for safety problems outweighs the necessity of playing a game under these circumstances. At what point then does an umpire decide to just walk away from a game like this one and refuse to umpire the game? What next; umpires being sued under the ADA because they refuse to umpire a game of this nature and therefore are discriminating against handicapped people?
