Dallas Shirley Says ........

A new picture will need to be added to the signal chart.


So which one is it, baseline or end line?

Absolutely amazing that know one actually cares to edit a paragraph and use the correct terms.

No wonder there are so many different interpretations of the rules!!!
My 2nd camp ever ( 1989 ) I believe....Dallas Shirley jumped all over a bunch of us for using the term "baseline ".....from that point on I have always said end line... For you guys west of the Appalachian Mountains, there was no other like J. Dallas Shirley....considering he is in the HOF in Springfield it is END LINE. Case closed !!!!

If that is all he had to complain about, you were not getting your money's worth. That is a waste of time, IMO. It is a distinction without a difference. I don't care who he was, at least he could have picked a term that actually conveyed something incorrect.

I agree that it is the ENDLINE and not the baseline. And don't forget J. Dallas' most famous quote: "Never say never and never say always!"
