Ball lodged in glove: FED interpretation

Thanks for the reply. I am aware that FED does not have jurisdiction over Little League; I was reviewing the article for the benefit of Forum readers that have not subscribed. I may as well ask you if you approved of my synopsis, given your strong but understandable concerns about intellectual copyrights.

I may indeed push an interpretation request up Little League channels. I'd also like to see some clear statements about lodged balls in relation to unassisted put-outs (where detection, at least, is more difficult).

LilLeaguer:

Your synopsis was accurate, and I have no quarrel with your posting it on this Board. As a subscriber you certainly have the right to do that.

Andy and I correspond several times a year. Why not send me your question? Let me see if I can get him to give us a ruling for Little League.

Finally, always feel free to contact me or anyone else at Officiating.com with your concerns, ideas, complaints, and encomia (as I was taught to say - grin).
