I've heard even umpires say things like "You better be able to
prove it was intentional..." No, you've never had to
prove anything. We're umpires officiating a softball game, not CSI preparing evidence for the prosecuting attorney. It always was and still is judgment. Maybe the new wording will be better down the road; for this year, I'm anticipating a few more "discussions" with coaches.
