One of these days, we'll have a famous YouTube video of this scenario?
In rec leagues when everyone bats there are often provisions to replace an injured player because when everyone bats, you have no sub. There are boundaries around this so it doesn't get abused too much.

One related situation that happened to me when i was still coaching: Batting 9, my batter got drilled in the knee and was seriously hurt. I told Blue i needed to get her treated in the dugout and i would do a "dead-ball substitution" and put an eligible sub on 1st base. He agreed. Then the other coach complained that the injured girl never touched first base so the umpire called my girl out! (Dead Ball Substitute - ASA Rule 4.6.D)

Even though i told ump before i made the change that I was doing a dead ball substitution and he agreed, he said he was going to let it slide but because the other coach complained, he would now have to follow the rules. He didn't know the rules. No UIC available at this field to help out. Only time I got to use the rule as a coach and ump could not follow it. I have allowed it a couple of times as an ump.
