Baseball Myths and Conceptions

Why overlook it? Tell the kid, and then if he does it again, call it. If you don't do anything about it, sooner or later the other coach is going to bring it up. This is a great opportunity to show the other coach that you are focused on the game and doing your job without being too over officious.

We must be talking apples and oranges.

The only time I have every heard or read about signs being taken off the rubber is small ball. (kids that don't shave)

In my 25 years of calling the other baseball (kids that shave) I have never seen it mentioned.

Maybe its the quality of baseball where I have called, but our coaches would never bring up such a trivial offense.

This would be like one mentioning the F3 has a foot out of bounds. (Of course in FED this is legal by rule)

Over officious is a good word for it.
