For those that have earlier versions of the case book, is the USC situation in those ones? I get the impression that it is not.
If it was not, it seems that this case play and ruling is an extemely important one given that a homerun is nullified and most of us officials would have ejected the player after allowing the homerun.
I have not done or played a lot of slow pitch in the last 6 years (changing this year), so I am wondering if the bat throwing in anger is happening enough that it warrented inclusion in the case book. When I played in the early 90's in Panama on the military bases, it happened enough that the officials were instructed to eject players but not a dead ball call with all other play being nullified and runners returning to last base touched at the time of flagrant misconduct.
