Thanks for the feedback. Are you guys talking what is done "in practice" or what is in the rules? Can you give me an idea where to read up on this rule in the book?
I'm curious whats behind this rule. In baseball, at least in the big leagues, you see all the time where a pitcher requests a new ball. I would think that if teams provide their own ball, provided the ball is an "official" ball, they should be able to change the ball out at their discretion provided they do so if a ball goes out of play or at the beginging of an at-bat.
