Here's one to chew on

Thanks for sharing Rich. Good one to discuss.

I've been told that the 2008 J/R covers this scenario.

I posted this on a LL Discussion board. Some people are discussing this in a nice way -- there's at least one person who (I'm sure) thinks I'm just an evil person for "taking a HR away from the kid."

Next year I bet our district keeps kids in the dugout after home runs.

I remember a year or two ago an Angel slugger hit a walk-off and broke his ankle during the celebration. It might be best at all levels to have everybody stay off the dirt circle. When did all this start anyway? Did Mantle or Aaron or Mays, etc get swarmed?

In MLB, or actually in most leagues at walk-off generates a home plate celebration. But these days in HS, a successful sacrifice bunt seems to be enough to draw players out of the dugout to slap hands.

And we are charged with putting a stop to it...

Even when the score is 13-5.

We can always count on you to point out rules that are irrelevant to the discussion... glad you haven't lost your edge.
