I have not called Fed ball in 10 years so I am out of loop on Fed rules. Most youth and adult ball around here play OBR.
Most problems with parents an coaches come from not knowing the the rules are not the same.
In fact many of the young umps I have used for youth league ball have played under Fed and must be retrained to call OBR. After football (Texas HS plays NCAA not Fed) I
will revisit Sec. 10 in detail.
Thanks again.
You're welcome, bluduc. Can't say I go to Rule 10 all that often myself. Most times it has been to point out to a mom or dad scorer that they aren't allowed to yell out about batting out of turn! It helps to know that it's there, though.

I can't believe you live in Texas but don't have a copy of Carl Childress' Baseball Rules Differences! As an Edinburg resident, Carl would be truly disappointed!

You'll find all the differences between OBR, FED and NCAA right there in one volume. Maybe you could take copies to your chapter meetings and maybe even sell 'em for a profit in the stands at your games!

Just funnin' witcha, bluduc. Again, you're welcome.

Cheers
