This post will make you think!!
MTD, Jr., is playing in an 18 & over (his team's coach is a 37 year old player coach, so this could be interesting for the old guys in the league) league this summer; his primary position is first base followed by catcher.
The league is being played using NFHS rules. BUT (wait for it), the leagues Rule 9 states: "Catchers beware!! Sliding and contact at home plate is allowed!"
The league is based just across the state line in that state up North (Ohio State fans will know the name of the state), so I am assuming that the umpires will be MichiganHSAA registered baseball umpires. The league commissioner knows that both MTD, Jr., and I are OhioHSAA registered baseball umpires. I have not had a chat with the league commisstioner about Rule 9, but I just think that it is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
MTD, Sr.
