They better start putting them on golfers too...could you imagine getting hit in the side of the head by a Tiger Woods drive?? yikes, that would hurt...

As soon as golfers have teammates who are running the holes, I am absolutely guaranteeing you that helmets will be mandatory. 😀

Not sure I agree that adults cannot decide for themselves...

😮
They had decided by an almost 100 percentile. Why? Because it would look "odd" or it might upset the Old Guard umps (lol) or Tommy's Dad said my Dad looks st00pid...

They have spoken clearly and distinctly, no doubt whatsoever, which is exactly why the rule became mandatory instead of optional.

No doubt you think that's clever, as if repeating an error would make it funny.

Now then, if everytime he repeated the error, someone would hit him in the head with a hammer....hilarious.

I agree, punctuation is important. How about spelling? I know I’ve misspelled on past posts. It’s a comfort knowing that we have people participating in this forum monitoring these very, very, very important issues. Long live the hammer!😃

Correct mechanic is to verbalize "that's obstruction!" and don't be shy about it!

missing comma after “Verbalize”

Look for informations for equipement

Informations? What's up with that? “Equipment” misspelled. I’m disappointed you did not catch these errors when Zorba posted.

Be careful. While interference was most likley not really an option, by rule, obstruction may have been. "

“Likely” misspelled.

What we got from national was that "above all, a fielder cannot block access to the bag without the ball...no exception for emminent possession or the throw taking the runner into the basepath".

Besides, the ball didn't arrive there accoring to the OP

“Eminent” misspelled. Base path should be two words. “According” misspelled.

You obviously have me confused with someone who commented on the accuracy of your writing and making a suggestion that it might be intentional.

T'weren't me. Once again, RIF.

I just suggested how to make it funny.

Maybe a sledge?

At the Washington State/Kent State series this weekend, the WSU base coaches wore helmets. The Kent State coaches did not. I inquired if it was a PAC 10 requirment and was told that it was not, WSU was doing it on their own.

BTW Mr. Byron, WSU took three of the four games, including a 21-4 shellacking of Kent State on Saturday.

Congratulations.

I had our team's catcher in class last spring, and enjoyed talking baseball with him from time to time. Smart kid (F2 is always the smartest kid on the team, right?), and a good guy.

I'm glad they were playing out there. We had 14" of snow, and the campus is closed this morning for snow removal.

We still have high school fields that are unplayable, but WSU, with its artificial turf and great drainage, was in excellent shape. Originally when the turf was installed they kept dirt on the mound and at home. Last year they turfed around home. When working the plate there I can leave my brush in the car.

Golden Flashes?

The local high school built their new turf field that way. I have not had the pleasure of working a game on a field like that, it must be a strange experience.
