Another coaches tale...

[JEL]

"I thought that the runner had to slide."



I have been educated, learned a new rule (except this was 9/10 BB,mon night)

Fan, loudly: There goes that "STAND UP RULE" he's gotta slide blue, don't you even know the rules?

Shoulda left it but,

Me, calmly: He does not have to slide, but must avoid a collision, did you see a collision?

Fan, again loudly: Well you didn't call it last time when you coached us.

Me, smiling: Sir I have never coached you!

He moved down to 1B side of fence, I think he kinda got embarresed! As I said, I should have not even replied, but game prior, I had the same conversation with a coach! He was never convinced that runner did not have to slide.


I was never informed of the new "STAND UP" rule, must chastise my UIC!
