Don't explain rules to players, enforce them.

Anyone else miss a particular mistake in the story?

Hint: deals with math.

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.

USSSA's batter's box is 3'x5.5', not 3'x7'.

That's 16.5 square feet.

Is that a math mistake though? The math for the numbers provided is correct.

Where do you see that? It's not in their rulebook. 8.02 only has 5 sections - field layout (which only covers bases, pitching, foul lines and CF fence), uniform, helmets, catchers gear, and bats
