Stupid Local Rule

[tcblue13]

If a batted ball goes through the limbs and leaves of a large oak tree growing near the LF foul pole in fair territory, it is a HR. The tree hangs over the field in Louisa county Va

Now I'm intrigued. Care to elaborate?

Thanks, Bret, for making me spit out my drink laughing! That is funny (and stupid) stuff!

You must have made it to 'Bama

Next week! Finally.

The yellow house rule is in Trenton, New Jersey.

In one of our local VERY recreational (but most challenging) leagues, on a specific field if a batter hits it into the backyard (about 300 feet from the plate) the batter is out AND ejected.


Here is a play from this league (and I am NOT kidding, this happened about 5 years ago). Runner A is sliding into home (or any other base for that matter, but on this play it was into home). During the course of the slide, Runner A's yarmulke becomes detached from his head. A defensive player, with possession of the ball, tags the yarmulke before Runner A reaches/touches home plate.

Is Runner A out?

Hehe - SM PF #2, double fences. Odd, I haven't had any games on that field this year. She was sending me to H. N or S more often than ever this year.

Y'all do it that differently in Seattle?

It is what a Catholic would refer to, at least in my youth, as a skull cap worn by males of certain sects of the Jewish faith. You know what it is, just not used to the spelling.
