Honestly, someone needs to put a tent on that circus.

What type of ball is this? Little League? PONY? HS? Someone in a position of authority is giving out some bum information. I wonder what other type of nonsense is being dispensed.

Edit: You said FED, but maybe it's little kids, with rookie umpires, playing HS rules. If this is HS, then the kids are really being shortchanged by idiots. These fellows are making good money. They should know the basics. Why rookies are allowed to do ANY sort of HS ball is beyond me. Start in LL, and work your way up. Some of the worst umpires I've ever seen are working at the HS level, and there's no reason for it. You should, IMO, have at least two years on the diamond before you work a HS game. The kids deserve it.
