I'm just poking fun at them

I don't believe you. If you meant it to be a poke, you would have had a "smile" next to it. No, I believe that you just got caught, and are backpeddling like you have been this entire thread.

Oh, I'm so glad you said that!

Without any doubt, it did appear in their rulebook.

Prove it.

OK, I will!
First of all, I can't give you a link to a set of rules that is out-dated and has recently been updated. That would be impossible.
But I
did write an article for officiating.com and made a reference to this rule and provided a link to the AFA rules. At the time, this was the only link available since they were in the middle of a complete rewrite.
I don't know if you're a subscribing member, but the article to which I'm referring is:
Softball - How different is it really? Part III
At the time, the AFA rule was 10.15.a.2.
Their 2008 rules were not out at the time I wrote the article (September 4th, 2007). I'm happy to know that they are now available.
I learned that today, because of their website.
If you go to that article and *click* on the link I provided, you will discover that that link is now broken.

At the time, this was the only place to get the AFA rules. It was a 2006 rule set. And it was
their rules, I assure you.
If what I'm saying is not true, then why would I risk creating a link and discussing what their rules say in a published article - that ultimately got approved by the editor - if it were not true?
I could probably go rooting through my archives on another computer where I used to collect all this junk and even send you a copy of their 2006 rulebook that had this comment. But I'm hoping you'll be satisfied with this.
Or, is there another gunman on your grassy knoll?
