8-18-I "glove or hand with the ball held therein"

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.
