There you go with the "real baseball" excuse. Another crock excuse.

What is "real baseball"?

A 60' field isn't real but a 70' field is?

The LL pitching limits aren't real but the Pony pitching limits are?

Re-entry in LL isn't real but re-entry in any other program is?

No-leads in LL aren't real but it's OK in Ripken, Dixie, and some levels of Pony?

Is a DH real? LL doesn't use it until the 17-18 group. Either the AL or the NL isn't playing real baseball, based on the answer.

Is the Force Play Slide Rule real? If not HS, Legion, and NCAA don't play real baseball. If it is, then the pros don't play real baseball.



It's not about "real baseball."

Christ, Rich - get a grip on yourself! No, LL is not real baseball! It hasn't been and never will be! You can rant and rave all you want but staying on a base without leading off and umpires throwing flags is not baseball. It's Kiddie Ball and that is all it ever will be! Why is it so hard for you guys to admitt this?

The DH is real since the AL hasn't gotten rid of it. The FPSR is for safety as you well know. None of this is pertinant to the fact that Kiddie Ball is not real baseball. What is real is that even LL umpires are living a "dream" just like the mommies and daddies of LL'ers. Why don't you curl up with Andy K. and see if he might let you have your 15 minutes of fame sometime!
