When I get asked if I call kids' games, I say, "no, supposedly adults."

Dave I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views! Screw green, it ain't easy being blue! I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again. |

Did you know that all of the boards are still there? They are just not working.

So they can claim it was a foul ball, not a swing and a miss or a HBP.

If the batter swings, yes. If not, it is a HBP unless in the strike zon.

And of course, yesterday I learned "the runner has to slide when there is a play" (no contact occurred).

Now that you mention it, fall ball started for me with a men's league doubleheader in which one of the teams was one of the more famous local travel teams in the past, whose players "came out of retirement" to play some ball just for the fun of it. The catcher on this team was one of the top players regionally in his days, and didn't like it when he was jumping up for the overthrow and nearly got wiped out by the runner coming home (keep in mind, he was in front of the plate when he was jumping, and the runner was going for the back of the plate). He turned to me and said "he's supposed to slide". Snide remark I wanted to make, but didn't: You been in retirement too damn long.

And your teammate is SUPPOSED to throw the ball to you, not over you!
