First;

DG, that is a great quote, "Coach, you can look it up when you get home, and apologize to me next time you see me." if the situation presents itself next season, mind if I use it ? Hopefully I wont have to use the, "but today you are gone...", part. Actually, that did happen. A coach last season argued a Batter Interference call so emotionally, that a picture of us ended up on the front page of the Sports section of that town’s newspaper. The next game, he said, well, you were right, but at least I got a picture of us in the paper !

Second;

So what if a ball lands at the base of the center field fence, hits a rock and goes foul between 1st and Home Plate (exaggeration). This rule, that if the ball lands beyond that line, "it's Fair", seems like a way to give players who can't hit the ball hard enough to get it through the infield a chance to get a base hit (exaggeration). Don't they have nicey, nice rules like that in T-Ball, where building self esteem 'is' important ? As usual, I think the OBR rule is just fine.
