ASA Slowpitch rules?

[celebur]

This thread serves to illustrate one of my pet peeves with 'local' league rules: players often don't understand that local rules are not necessarily the same as official rules (ASA or other).

In this case, somebody actually made an effort to become informed, but I have an additional suggestion--obtain a current rule book and read it! This will dispell some additional myths.

And from where I'm lurking, there was no rudeness in the first two replies. . .
