You apparently were not around in the days when the Fed required the substitutes to report. If they did not, they were called out if discovered in the game. From memory, I believe the unreported sub was also ejected.
The Fed rule at the time was different than the others and resulted in lots of outs-------and lots of BS resultantly. The Fed then changed their rule back to agree with that of others. They still want you to report subs (as do other rules), they are just not going to penalize if you (or the player) forget to. They have thrown the burden on the opposing team to watch for illegal players. Now, the players can play baseball without having to worry about administrative duties---as simple as they may have been.
Believe me, you are in the better situation of the two.
Just my opinion,
Steve
