In my era, the weakest defensive links often played second base or right field. In co-ed, the weakest female often plays catcher, much to my shins' chagrin.
So should the rule apply to all leagues and levels. There's guys on the local wreck league who cannot judge a pop up. Given enough time, someone else will always meander over that way and catch the ball before the other guy misses it.
Is that a takeaway? Don't know about you, but I LIKE outs!
