I don't work any 60' baseball. I tried it and didn't like it. Others may wish to know which of those but I don't.
I bet these are some kind of house/local league. Maybe not but fortunately I don't work them.
FPSR is a legitimate rule and I call it more than most of my high school compadres. But, I have not had the opportunity (yet) to observe it from the plate area. If I see it I will call it and send the runners not involved back. I have no problem with that.
As far as malicious contact I have called it several times as well but usually at the plate and maybe once or twice at second. Never at third or first or between bases.
Thanks for making me think a little bit.

I had it this year at the plate. Bases loaded and a grounder to F3 . Throw to F2 and R3 slides hard into F2 past the plate. F2 (legs taken out) couldn't throw back to F3.
Nothing malicious. Would have been good, hard baseball if playing OBR.
