Thrown ball into dugout or stands from outfielder - two bases

of all the issues those have, THAT'S the one you pick??? how about batted or thrown ball hits umpire, dead ball? or throw from fielder hts on deck batter, dead ball? or bated ball hits pitcher's in bullpen, double????

the piece of paper can't be too ancient...the stadium was opened in 96. at the league meeting the president asked for a volunteer to update the ground rules as they were pretty much awful throughout the league. i started doing it but my interests changed as the season progressed. to answer your question about what is customary at the plate meeting...typically we run through the ground rules at the start of each series ifit is the ffirst visit for the visitors to that stadium that year. if it is not their first visit then we just ask if they have any questions. however, at this stadium there are so many weird things going on with the outfield wall that we pretty much went all the way around before the start of each series whether it was the first trip in or not.
