We almost agree. I think the Little League umpire
should advise the manager of the appropriate rule; you admit that an umpire
might do so.
I explicitely don't think that umpires should be checking birth certificates or cups.
And, of course, I don't speak for anybody but myself, though I'm relaying rules and responsibilities straight from the Little League book.
