Clarification
"Cal Ripken" is not a league unto itself as is PONY or LL. It is a lower level division of Babe Ruth. I don't know about so called "Select Cal Ripken", but at the Eastern WA Babe Ruth Tournament, the Cal Ripken level could not lead off or steal until the ball reached or passed the catcher.
Hardly what I would refer to as "real baseball."
In PONY baseball at that same level, local PONY associations have a choice to allow leading off and stealing or not. At tournament time, the choice is removed and leading off and stealing is permitted.
