In my golden years, I am doing pretty much all LL 60-foot games.

[Waiting for sniggering]

We do 3-man for all local final games and state games. It works just fine.

In addition to letting a BU go out for trouble catches (there are plenty), you also have coverage on the frequent play where R2 will try to advance after throw to F3 on an infield grounder. U1 can take the rock and U3 is ready for play at 3B, whilst PU can stay home, waiting for the inevitable error.

On the real diamond, 3-man has definite advantages in double-steal situations, iffy bunts where defense may try to put out an exisiting runner, base touches, delayed obsructions, tag-ups, pickles, hmmmm.

I could go on. So far, in Garth's corner.
