runningwild,
The American Legion rules do not specifically address the question.
AL plays under (slightly modified) OBR. The OBR rules do not specifically address the question either. However, the MLBUM explicitly prohibits "electronic equipment" in the dugout or on the field of play. While not specifically addressed, I would guess that PDAs would fall under this proscription. Maybe not.
The only rule code I am familiar with that does address the question is FED, which explicitly permits a base coach to have a PDA while in the coaching box. While AL used to grant local leagues the option of playing under FED rules prior to National Tournament play, it is my understanding that they no longer do.
