No, but familiar with the author from this and other softball boards. He's a baseball umpire whose daughter plays softball.

In my experiences, he is too accustomed to baseball rules which often address play-specific scenarios which most softball rule books do not.

I don't believe this person has ever undertaken any training as a softball umpire, yet has tried to learn the rules from reading and various internet sites such as this one.

I give very little credence to any opinion he offers concerning softball, but that is just my personal opinion.
