I would be willing to bet $1.00 that if someone could get Kyle McNeely, Chairman of the NFHS Baseball Rules Committee, to answer he would say that the FED does not want any second ball on the field during a dead ball situation for warming up any player.

No doubt. He was one of those trying to sell it as "safety issue."

Ridiculous.

If it was that big of a safety issue, then why allow it between innings?

BTW, the ignore list does no good if everyone continues to quote these posters....

That was the question I asked. I'm still waiting for an answer other than, "that's different" and "it's traditional."

Let's not hold our collective breaths.

I had a coach in a FED game a few years ago come out after the first half-inning with a fungo bat. I told him to get rid of it. He asked why and I simply told him that there's a rule against it. He didn't believe me. Silly coach.

Great. Now we've got a "Tim" betting on baseball.
