Hey,
WWTB:
No cheap shot was intended.
I meant exactly what I said:
You are a "nuts & bolts" umpire that concentrates specifically on the job of umpiring.
NO batboy will enter the play area during a play in my game. Therefore this is NOT a "batboy" issue. This is, and has always been, about clearing the bat that lies in the area of the plate.
I have no idea who you are talking with about the issue but the instructors at Evans all still teach to clear the bat.
As I noted in my original post "in the olden days" we were taught to squat and clear it through our legs. I don't make this crap up.
Regards,
