Not being arrogant - just a question. Does PONY Baseball have a rule in their rule book prohibiting a fan from giving signs or signals?
Now if there is no rule;
1. What's the problem with a fan giving signs?
2. As an umpire, don't you have enough to worry about? Why are you adding fans to your long list of things that you have to deal with?
3. What is the difference between a coach giving signs or a fan giving signs?
Now if you can show us a PONY specific rule, then the above questions do not apply.
Here's a bit of help
OBR 8.01
..... Pitchers shall take signs from the catcher while standing on the rubber.
Can you show me where it specifies where the signs come from? And what if the coach signs to the pitcher rather than the catcher - what is the penalty?
