Rich:
I saw nothing in the original post where the offending manager admitted anything. He was just misquoting the rules. These leagues use volunteer umps who don't have a clue, they hardly know the strike zone, and they're expected to know the rules. In many leagues they're not even given any decent training. The leagues my sons and grandsons played in had official scorebooks kept at the field. It was easy to check on eligibility. The Jays manager sounds like one of those win-at-all-costs morons who shouldn't be working with youth.
