From Part 2 exam:

"A runner must vacate his base to permit a fielder to catch a fly ball in the infield." T/F?

"A coach may be restricted or ejected if he allows his team to line up near the foul line by home plate to observe the opposing team's infield practic." T/F?

1st question -
False
For reference see FED rule 8-2-7

" a runner need not vacate his base to permit a fielder to catch a fly ball in the infield, but he may not interfere ".



2nd question -
True
For reference see FED rule 3-3-1.g.5

" A coach, player, substitute, attendant or other bench personnel shall not:
be in live ball territory ( excluding team's bullpen area ) during the opponent's infield practice prior to the start of the game. "

The penalty sction of 3-3-1 shows the results which can include bench restriction or ejection.

An additional clarification;

Only a COACH can be restricted to the dugout in this case. If the offense is by anyone else the the penalty is ejection unless the umpires deem the infraction to be of a minor nature. If minor issue the warning and eject any subsequent violation.

Thanks fellas. I actually got those two correct (instinctively), I just didn't spend enough time looking for the references. Thanks again.
