The LBR is an antiquated rule that has little to no bearing on, nor does it add anything to today's game. It was introduced when most softball teams were coached with a baseball and old school mentality.

Dropping the LBR and killing the ball at the end of all obvious play takes absolutely nothing away from the game except to the egocentrics that have a difficult time with any change that wasn't their idea.

And I'm still waiting for a good reason why this change shouldn't take place.
