Our son plays in a Toledo Park and Rec. boys' 14U league sanctioned by the USSSA which uses OBR rules. And today I was flabergasted by what the base umpire told our son who was playing at first base.
With our opponent having a runner on first base, my son was straddling first base with his left foot in fair territory and his right foot in foul territory. Guess what the base umpire told him? If he wanted to straddle first base, he had to have both feet completely n fair territory and his right foot had to be in contact with the base. I guess that is the type of rules knowledge from an umpire who wears a powder blue hat on the bases.
