6th inning, play at the plate. R1 on 3rd, R2 on 2nd, 1 out. Batter hits to
F6, she fires to 1B, R1 coming from 3rd, good acturate throw on the money,
which F2 cathes, blocks and tags. Hear comes Johnnnnny. "Blue that
is obstruction." "You guys told us at the coaches/umpires meeting that the defender
could not block the base." My response, yeah I know, tasteless, "Go ask your
cuz, cause that was a perfectly legal play coach."

I'm sorry, I have been out of the loop for a few years. Fed Rules Clinic next week and I have put in a request for an ASA book yesterday and ordered a Fed CD from the Athletic Rules-Study folks... Soon I will be armed to the teeth! But for now....

I take it that it's ok to block at the plate but not on the bases?

Cannot block any base without the ball if there is an immediate play.

What is the latest Glen?

Nothing much, just calling ball when it is not raining, and it
has started again.

BTW Anyone know if there's an On-Line edition of the Rules book for ASA?

No, ASA Rule Book is not on-line...Changes are, so if you have the 04
Book, go from there.
