I will be doing several Jr American Legion games and some Sr games this June and July, and I don't want to be acting on a false rule.
Thanks again, men....

It's not unusual for this to happen as most HS umpires also do Legion ball. It's usually umpires who don't bother to review the differences between OBR & FED and don't bother to learn OBR. They figure all they need is FED and they'll get by.
