Hmmm,

"Your base coach example is irrelevant. There are rules in OBR, PBUC Manual and MLBUM that clearly state that only players listed on the line-up card can play in a game."

With all respect:

This appears to me to be an incorrect statement. ONLY in professional baseball are there rules concerning the listing of players and eligibility. We all know that the names of "subs" in all games, except for professional games, are on the card at the will of the coach. They are done as a "polite" gesture by rule. OBR does not require names of any players other than the starters for the game.

The base coach example may be ridiculous but appears to be possible under the ruling that some have encouraged.

In FEDeration baseball an illegal sub, as in this situation, becomes legal even if not announced.
Regards,
