In one of our local VERY recreational (but most challenging) leagues, on a specific field if a batter hits it into the backyard (about 300 feet from the plate) the batter is out AND ejected.


Here is a play from this league (and I am NOT kidding, this happened about 5 years ago). Runner A is sliding into home (or any other base for that matter, but on this play it was into home). During the course of the slide, Runner A's yarmulke becomes detached from his head. A defensive player, with possession of the ball, tags the yarmulke before Runner A reaches/touches home plate.

Is Runner A out?
