The MLB Umpire Manual is written for major league umpires, not LL umpires, low adult league umpires, etc. What is written don't make it right for all levels... [/B][/QUOTE]

How ridiculous.


Okay, the OBR is written for adult men playing MLB. It is not, nor was it ever written for youth play. So does that mean that it shouldn't be used for levels other than MLB? Be your rationale, yes; but by all that makes sense, Of course not.

As in many activities, the pro levels set standards that carry over into the amateur levels. This is one of them.
