Interesting idea for co-ed
Ky Blue replies:
I like the idea of the line. I always worry about collisions at home in my co-rec softball, especially now that everybody's wearing sharp jewelry. As you rightly point out, no correct call is possible, so go with your instincts as you did. Sell a call against yourself. "I'm guilty of umpire interference, so the run scores. My bad, my fault, let's re-set and play ball." There's nothing anyone can aay. I'm thinking of other situations where the umpire might affect play and what might happen, and most cases I can think of involve runner replacement, very few involve calling anybody out. I'm going to suggest your innovation to my co-ed leagues and see what the powers-that-be say. Thanks for the idea!
