That might be a good thing!

I think that is a GREAT rule!

Oh...did I mention I only do ASA, NCAA and NFHS for a REASON?! Keep it up, NSA. We need more crazy crap like this!

The cartoon of the player is wearing prison garb?

Nah! They are just trying to appeal to their primary audience.

Actually, though, as I recall, that has something to do with a Base Bandit or something like that. Don't have too much familiarity with ISA, but I recall some association that had Base Bandit tourneys a while back.

Excuse me. It was a Base Burglar. Here is the rule:

Section 5 - The Base Burglar.
A. Must be designated before the game to the umpire or official
scorekeeper.
B. Can only be used once per half inning.
C. Cannot be a position player or EP.
D. May be utilized as a regular substitute, however, that team will lose the
Base Burglar for the remainder of the game.
E. CO-Ed Play: Both a male and a female Base Burglar may be used once
per half inning. Males may be designated for males. Females may be
designated for males or females.

ISA (not ISF) does use a Base Bandit or Base Burglar hence the cartoon character in prison garb. It is their version of a Courtesy Runner.

ISA - Rule 3 - Section 4 - THE BASE BANDIT/BASE BURGLAR is allowed to run once an inning. If the (BB) enters the game, the (BB) position is eliminated. If the (BB) is injured while on base, the batter/runner that the (BB) ran for must take their proper place on base.

The BB must also be listed on the starting lineup.
