You insist on doing this in public, very civil.

You never quoted a Little League source. You pulled some hair brain opinion off of the Internet from someone none of us had ever heard of before. What on Earth would lead you to believe that his opinion had more merit than the umpire training manual for all Little League umpires. In case you missed it the first time, here are the instructors comments found in the Rules Instruction Manual.


Seldom will an umpire have to utilize this rule. Most situations can be covered by rules and interpretations listed throughout the book. Umpires should not use Rule 9.01(c) as a substitute for knowledge of the rules or to further their individual agendas utilizing the word “safety”.

Situations such as throwing the bat and other potentially unsafe actions should be covered as follows: Warn the player and warn the other members of this player’s team. Further incidences will result in ejection.
