I've never heard the phrase "Little League Crease". I've heard Western Fold, Califrornia fold, AAA fold; and I've heard it expressed with "fold" substituted with "roll."

I assume "Little League Crease" is meant as a derogatory term.

I haven't seen a MiLB umpire, A, AA or AAA without it for at least the last ten years. As occurs with many things, it has spread to the amateur ranks. Mny of the D-1 umpires at Regionals, Super Regionals and the CWS had thier caps so styled.
