Protests and Authoritative Opinion Revisited.

[Bfair]

DDonnelly19 (qooted):
"....At this level, no matter how hard the ball is hit, any batter's going to get at least 3B since the fielders would need to run at least 150' to get to the ball. I can see a ground-rule triple being justifiable at this level on such a large field...."

Sometimes down here in Texas we have to go out to the boonies to some not so large towns to handle these country games. One guy brought back this situation:

Bases loaded, bottom 7th with home team down 3 runs. Playing in the boonies with no outfield fence and a farm in the distance. Batter cranks one to left center that must have flown 400 ft. in the air and would still be rolling if a pig hadn't picked up the ball and ate it !!!! Not a fielder within 150 ft when pig ate the ball.
What's your call ???
