Absolutely true. And I'm certainly one of those that needs to brush up. I find the rules that I've blown the worst are the ones I remember the best now! It's good to read the rules, but it's even better to apply them and learn from mistakes (our own as well as those of others).

The question regarded interference. You stated there was no rule covering this situation. Bobby has posted it repeatedly. Try reading it.

Ozzy just curious this is Fall ball so why even bother picking up the game in the top of the 5th to begin with.

It's Fall ball so what's the point.

Also, you said that the umpires offered to do the game so I take it to mean they did not get paid (again) to show up.

Thanks

As far as the Fall League, all games are played as in Summer Ball. There are standings, and winner gets trophies and dinner at a sponsor restaurant.

Yes, the umpires offered to do the game for no fee. The assigner took them to dinner following the game so they made out okay. The assigner pays for the entire meal including beers. The final game of the Fall Season is officiated by 6 volunteer umpires and the assigner takes us all to dinner afterward. I've been doing this for 20 years, every Fall.

This particular League has this as their one and only "home rule". I have worked many fields where managers require a third player on their own. I have no problem with this.

Impose such penalties so as to nullify the interference.

Agree. Person authorized to be on the playing field is designated to intentionally interfere. That is reason for being there.

Likely a double, unless runner is particularly speedy and umpire thinks he may have legged out a triple absent the interference. I'm not sure I would go that far.

Not around here, dear.

Not knowing exactly where "here" is, I guess you're right. A great many professional baseball stadiums have bullpens on the field, and the vast majority of high school and college yards here in the baseball hotbed of the United States, the SoCal area, feature them as well.

Maybe not where you live, but everywhere else.

You can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a field with bullpens down the line. I just don't see what the big deal and drama is about that to start with. Anyone ever watched an MLB game? Chock full of bullpens down the foul lines. All over the country, too. Not a regional thing, dude.

Actually, I don't think either of use has toured the country enough to be able to reach a definitive conclusion.

The use of "dude" is a regional thing, however.

Surf's up, dude!

Actually I've toured the country quite a bit. But I have also watched a whole bunch of big league games on TV and in person, and have seen bullpens down the lines - on the field - in a great many ballparks and stadiums from sea to shining sea, God Bless America:cool:
