You have always complained that Fed softball was run by baseball people in your part of the country. If that is what they were teaching for years, then they were wrong for years.

In all of my Fed books going back to 1979, as part of the definitions of a fair ball, state that "A fair ball is a batted ball that touches first, second or third bases." There has never been any "imaginary line" in the softball book.

And that is part of the issue. Around here, the NFHS UIC for baseball and softball is the same person and he has never been one for softball rules.

I never said they were correct, just that it was the way it was taught around here. Thanks for pointing out the result of what I have been stating.
