Is the UIC wrong or am I on another planet?

Sometimes, you're up there speaking (in front of dozens of opinionated umpires, no less) with all eyes on you, and you get a little tongue-tied.

By the way, ever been to BJ's Brewhouse? They've got some GREAT beers over there! I've been there a few times...

I'm sure he believes what he thought he heard but we had a long discussion about this and he insisted that is what the USSSA interpretation is. Although at the end he backed off a bit and said he would get clarification.

BJ's is one of my favorites, right next to Apple. I live only about a mile or so from there.

Awesome, I went to an Apple training there. Had a great time, and the beer there is EXCELLENT.

We have one a few miles from my house. They are all over the place out here and in California.

They have some excellent beers. I'm partial to the Jeremiah Red and Nutty Brewnette myself.

Go figure that I poke my head in the softball forum and see beer being discussed in a couple of threads.

As it damn well should be!

Maybe I should open a BJ's Brewhouse franchise here in NC. Any takers?

Let me know when you open it. I could sample the different beers for you and take care of quality control.

I think I'll keep it in-house, thank you very much.

No clarification or interpretation needed.

I read him (UIC) the definition of a tag out on page 22, rule 3, sec. 65, of the USSSA rule book and that was when he backed off saying he would get clarification. The reason I brought this up was to find out if others had heard this. I'm glad to hear no one responded in the postive and our UIC was just confused.

Everyone, have a great softball season!!

By the way, open a Hooters and I'll do the hiring and firing.....................for free.

Is it possible the UIC had been to BJ's BEFORE the meeting?

Actually, I wish we had the meeting at BJ's, the food (and beer) is so much better than Denny's.
