Bluezebra,
Your're right; "player" was misleading, I should have said "nonplaying team member that is not suited up for game arriving late". In hindsight, obviously, she wasn't a 'player'.
DG,
Home team had the field. It was the home team coach's daughter.
When my teen ump looked at me with that 'what do I do' look, I replied, 'not in uniform, not in the book'. He made the call. Offense was not happy. I think they could have swallowed it if it had been their player. If I'd been calling the game I think I'd said: 'Well coach, we're supposed to balance instruction with competition. I think you team just learned something. Runners are staying on the bases they made it to.'
thanks for the inputs, esp. the 'inside the pork' one.. just can't get good BBQ here in NE.
