That is why the NF Rules Difference in the book is just one page.

I did not say there were not any differences. But I did say the differences are not so drastic that it is not doable. Baseball is not football where the "Free Blocking Zone" is entirely differenet from the NF Ranks to the NCAA level. Baseball is still baseball. They still have to hit, they still have to catch and they still have to run. The same priciples for the players and coaches are the same. The rules still do not change stradegy or the fundamentals of the game like "hitting the cut off man," I think they can function with different rules. From a standpoint of doing other sports, the game is not that different.

Peace
