I've said this since 1956, when I first started umping LL. I said it when I coached and managed. I still say it. It's an asinine rule that makes no sense. And it's the same with not letting an adult warm up a pitcher.
Another LL rule that boggles my little mind is the pitching rules. During the regular season, there are tight restrictions on how much a pitcher may throw. All of a sudden, during the post-season, these kids arms magically strengthen enough to remove most of those restraints. And then, again magically, those same arms, a year older, revert to being too weak to pitch too many innings.
