Many times ASA rule changes are brought forth by something that happened at a National Tournament where no rule completely governed the situation..............

I would give pretty good odds that at some AA game (It could be a JO for all I know..........but AA seems more likely)............that some coach did this exact scenerio to attempt an advantage..................

I believe that the reason that a runner hit by a batted ball changed from the BR being credited with a base hit.............changed to a "fielders choice" was directly related to a 18U gold pitcher who lost a No-No because of old rule....................

Joel,

I completely disagree. There is no way a manager of the AA game would be smart enough to even think about pulling something like changing bases to gain an advantage. Now, if your talking about doing this unintentionally, then I think you would be in the right ballpark.
