Very true. Many states, regions, districts, sections, locales, and leagues use different rules, and even rule books, for that matter. I was simply attempting to draw the attention of a fellow Ohioan to the rule that we use. I should have qualified my remarks with the abbreviation, YMMV.
Just between you and me, Bob, I've heard that in California's San Francisco Section, the kid protecting the bull pen also has to wear a high-visibility vest that has been recently tested and proven lead- and phthalate ester-free. It's probably one more thing their umpires have to check prior to a game there. Perhaps our newest member from the CIF, fionablue08, can enlighten us all.
