The way it was ruled was exactly how twobits ruled it. This was an illegal substitution and the batter's first two plate appearances stand. However, the current one that was questioned was deemed illegal.
The league in question is designed to be a "participation" league. Our organization does a solid job in finding quality managers to alleviate and type of competitive issues/bending of our rules to use to their advantage. It appears that this individual did just that and more discussion is forthcoming.
Thanks to all the "senior members" for adding the value to this topic.
I apologize to everyone for using "jargon" on the board as relating to a certification. The term "PATCHED" is looked at as dignity in my neck of the wood and throughout the areas I have traveled. I just make to make sure that mikebran is not insulted and I just wish that some value could be added to more of my legitimate questions in the future.
ps: i hope you get the sarcasm mikebran!!!!!!!!!
