This should be sufficient:

OBR 2.00

A STRIKE is a legal pitch when so called by the umpire, which -

(a) Is struck at by the batter and is missed;

I just seem to recall reading actual wording about merely holding the bat in the strike zone not being an attempt in something other than FED, i.e., OBR.

Steve,


I know you worked some LL games last year and you might have read what you're talking about in "The Right Call."


“The Right Call” Casebook -- Comment: The key words are “intentionally met with the bat.” Comment: If no attempt is made to make contact with a ball outside the strike zone while in the bunting stance, it should be called a ball. An effort must be made to intentionally meet the ball with the bat.

Alright, I'll buy that. That may have been where I saw it. Thanks.

I know what that stands for [I feel older now]! My grandfather smoke those for 65-70 years. Quit when he was 82. Not one lung problem ever.

I used to smoke...huhhhhhh...four packs a day...huhhhhhhhh...but since they took out one of my lungs...huhhhhhhhhhhhh...I've cut my smoking in half!

Seriously, I feel 100% better since quitting smoking several years back.

I don't need to google it (or goggle it either) to figure what the second one was.

The first of course:

Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco

or, "smoke, smoke, smoke, until you have no "Chestafeel."

My dad told me LSMFT meant: "Lord, Save Me from Truman." Harry, that is.
