I find Fed rules to be "artificial baseball", with all the silly differences. I guess many are for safety, but I haven't seen much of a difference in safety in 20 years of games with both sets of rules. I would rather put up with all the errors in the OBR, than to have every league switch to the Fed.

Steve, I didn't mean to infer that you were "crying", it was just a metaphor.
FED rules are the way they are because of safety and tailored to the younger player (less than NCAA level). The reason I stated that youth leagues should use FED is because these leagues always ba$tardize the OBR with "extra safety additions" and pitching restrictions so they may as well use the book tailored to that. I'd much rather do OBR without any ba$tardization of the OBR rules.
