Fake Tag

Had a player fake a tag t'other night at 3B. Runner did not slide and easily scored.

I called time and walked to youthful [19-22] F5 and asked him if that feint was legal in "this league", knowing that most of the players had jobs in the morning.

Grizzled F6 comes over and asks what's up.
I told F6 and he retorted, "He's young."

F5 was straightned out in the dugout during the next 1/2-inning.

Mick,

Sorry, but I don't quite get the point you are trying to make. Are you suggesting that there is no rule against a "fake tag" in OBR leagues, but the guy's teammates let him know that it shouldn't be done in OBR leagues whose players have day jobs?

I had a similar situation a couple nights ago. Nothing was called and the next time up, the offending shortstop took a fastball in the kidney.
