Don't blame a ruleset you don't know for myths that are out there.

My point was that in post #9 I provided helpful info that the "presenting" is not in the LL book, dispelling that possibility, although I think it used to be.

I never said myths come from the LL rules or from the LL organization. They come from misinformed former YOUTH BALL players because they think that what a coach taught them is a rule. E.g., must turn right after overrunning 1st, because a lot of coaches see that teaching that as a way to avoid mistakes by 10 year olds.

There is nothing degrading about my comments, so not a SA; but I will try to remember to say "youth ball" from now on to avoid misperceptions.
