If you're describing a softball play, use the softball designations for players. If you're describing a baseball play, use the baseball designations. Or, use the "other" designation and annoy people.

Thats what I was trying to figure out. I dont know how baseball does it, all i know is what is logical in my mind, which is to designate R# where # is the base of the runner at TOP.

So there must have been a reason why softball decided to change the nomenclature, does anyone know what this reason is?
