While we're discussing a handicapped or "physically disadvantaged" coach, I'd like to get some opinions on a situation that came up this last summer at the Cooperstown Dreams Park.
During one of the week long tournaments there, an umpire was calling games from a wheelchair. This brought rise to an issue that goes deeper than the sport of baseball in my opinion. The main questions were, can he do his job effectively, and even if he can, is he putting the players at a higher risk of injury.
I can certainly see the downside of allowing this, but I don't see how it could be stopped, or even if it should be stopped for that matter.
Any thought's?
Tim.
