At 8U, this happens at least once a game, right?

Well, in falling and recovering, I'd lost my bearings a bit. When the 1B coach pointed out that the line the ball was on was the outside of the running lane (the actual foul line had been obliterated), I couldn't help but laugh at myself.

Now That Thar is funny. No 1 so far....
