When Marcus Giles played Pony League, he did a Pete Rose take-out of the catcher. I mean he flew horizontal like Superman into this kid and knocked him into next week. He dislodged the ball, and was safe. I called him safe, then said, "Marcus, you're done, you know you can't do that." This game was played with OBR, with a slide or avoid Fed style rule. The only difference was that he was safe and gone, instead of out and gone, as he would have been under Fedlandia.

How old are the players in the Pony league? 13, 14 or so right?

So you know the players of these random teams well enough to call them by name when you eject them?

You like calling him safe and ejecting him over calling him out?

Say bottom of last inning, score is tied. Marcus is R3, and is trying to score after a caught fly ball to the outfield. F2 gets the ball well before Marcus is there. Marcus knows he will be out, his only chance is to plow over the catcher. He knocks the catcher over, is called safe and ejected. Who knows how bad the catcher got hurt.

In your Pony game, he is safe and ejected, but the game is over. So there is actually no penalty at all. In the Federation game, he is out, the run doesn't score. Shouldn't that be the way it is? How can you reward someone for running over the catcher?
