If they want consistancy of interpretation, I would suggest a bit more consistant wording. If they bring confusion to those as studied as the attendees of this board, how can the average rec umpire be expected to properly interpret.

I think ASA should perhaps start by adding "Delaware Helicopter Swing" to the definitions section. (If it was wadeintothem that coined this, kudos.)

What part of "California Drag Bunt" didn't anyone understand? I did not make this up. The routine and it's name has been around for a few years now. BTW, the softball in DE isn't good enough for players to pull arrogant stunts like this.
