FPSR is a legitimate rule and I call it more than most of my high school compadres. But, I have not had the opportunity (yet) to observe it from the plate area. If I see it I will call it and send the runners not involved back. I have no problem with that.

As far as malicious contact I have called it several times as well but usually at the plate and maybe once or twice at second. Never at third or first or between bases.

Thanks for making me think a little bit.

Unless a recent change, Babe Ruth baseball does not have FPSR. Check LL, Dixie, and others, as I am not up on those. FPSR is generally used for leagues that use FED rules.
