3. If you tag a runner on the back before he reaches the base, he is safe because you can't tag a runner in the back.
4. Only the umpire in cheif can throw someone out of the game.
5. Pitchers can go to their mouths and touch the ball without 1st, wiping his hand/fingers off 1st.
6. Pitchers can have a SOILD WHITE GLOVE.
7. Pitchers must be set for at least 3 seconds before he can deliver the pitch
8. If the pitcher drops the ball while on the rubber, he can pick it up and a balk is not called.
9. Runners must slide feet first
And my favorite,
10. BALLS AND STIKES CAN BE ARUGED!
Just thought you all would enjoy the very knowable coaches I deal with every weekend

I'll have the coaches I have call your coaches, they missed a few:
1. The tie always goes to the runner.
2. The hands are part of the bat.
3. There's tape there so it's no longer considered wearing jewelry
becaue you can no longer see it.
4. You can't call that a strike. My batter called time out.
5. No way that sliding runner was safe. The ball beat the runner to the base.
