It's a FED thing!

ASA uses the same. It's the softball nomenclature. If Fed baseball picked it up, too, well, that was their choice.

Umpires should also be able to make that adjustment.

I never could understand the FED convention for naming runners.

On this board, we use the softball nomenclature. You'd be more easily understood if you made the adjustment.

On the rare occasions I post on baseball boards, I make the adjustment and use their nomenclature. Seems the sensible thing to do if I want to be understood.

If I can speak French fluently, yet insist on speaking English in Paris with the view that most school kids in France are taught English so they should make the adjustment to me, how do I appear? Arrogant? Self-centered? Boorish? Ignorant? American? All of the above?
