Wheelchair coaching

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I know that anyone of us end up in a wheelchair for life because of any number of reasons and I know what the law of the land says concerning that matter that we have been discussing as well as what the NFHS Baseball and Softball Rules says about it too. BUT, logic (which I prefer over common sense), tells us that to let anybody in a wheelchair in the playing area is just about the stupidist thing an umpire could do.

This is a situation, where the men and women who really understand the situation on a baseball or softball diamond (and not some clueless legislator or judge) have to do the correct thing from the beginning of the game and not allow anybody in a wheelchair in an area where a player can be injured.
