American Legion rules
 

Does American Legion baseball have its own code and rule book? Does it use OBR with some exceptions?

I played American Legion baseball from 1964 through 1967, and as far as I remember, we used straight OBR.

1. Get a copy of OBR (MLB)rules.
2. Go to American Legion web site and look at the drop down under Rules & Forms. Download .pdf's as needed!

Also note that there is a helmet rule for the coaches.

That was before metal bats, and just after Abner Doubleday died, wasn't it?
:D

OBR with some exceptions. Likely straight OBR in the 60's, wood bats, and no FPSR.

Definitely no FPSR or, for that matter, any prohibition against crashes. I was crashed several times. Once, when the collision (at 1B) prevented me from making a good throw home to get a runner, my coach upbraided me for "letting one of those *******s knock you down."

Hey, the site automatically "asterisked" my word!

The coach used the "b" word, applied to people born out of wedlock.

Do you mean b@stards?

I think he meant ba$tards.
