Peter:
5.11 is ONE way for the ball to become live, but certainly not the ONLY way. You certainly aren't suggesting that EVERY time there's a stoppage of play, (e.g. when a coach, spectator or on-deck batter tosses an out-of-play ball back to PU while the pitcher already has one) we're gonna yell "Time" and "Play"????? For Pete's sake (pun intended), the game drags on long enough already!
Whether kids can shave or not doesn't even enter into the equation. If some idiot of a coach is telling his hairless youngster to bowl over the umpire while he's brushing the plate off . . . but didn't verbalize "TIME" so everyone in the city of Seattle can hear him, following a foul ball, I'd be doin' a whole lot more verbalizing to the coach than just "Time".

P.S. You were kidding, weren't you?
