When measuring home to the rubber and home to first etc where exactly do you measure? For the rubber is it back of home plate to front, center or rear of rubber? Likewise for bases and base paths, where do the measurements begin and end? Thanks

as for the rubber, 1.07 in the book says the rubber is measured to the rear point of the plate, and the diagram a few pages prior to that shows that the front of the rubber is the point of measure on that side of the tape measure

Plate to Rubber: Back ppoint to front of rubber.

Bases:

Measure out the square. Consider the points at the corners as A, B, C, and D.

Home plate goes with the point (of the white part) at point A and the two 12" edges aligned with the two adjacent sides (foul lines).

First and Third base bags go at points B and D, with the bag entirely within the square. (The measurement is from the point of the plate to the outfield side of the bases.)

The second base bag is centered on point C with the flat edges "aimed" at first and third bases. (The measurement is fron the point of the plate to the center of the bag.)

Damn, I saw the thread title and thought we were talking about Morganna!

I'd estimate that with Morganna we'd need volleyball measurements.
