Yes, indeedileedoodly! However, I called youth games for many years.

In youth ball, it is expect to "break it up" - in beer league, they gotta work in the morning and allowing certain things can lead to problems.

I was not aware that ASA had different rules regarding sliding...

Absolutely, each game will be different. The players are different, the setting is different, and the mood is different. Just like some days, I can put up with more crap, and other days, I might not always be so willing to tolerate things (try as I may to be as consistent and cool-headed as possible). But if I see some bad mojo brewing, or if I see some potential danger in the act, I put a stop to it quietly and without being adversarial.
