I have a thought and wanted to know what others think. The infield fly rule was adopted from baseball. I would like to see one modification to it for softball. I think it should include a single runner on first and heres why.
In baseball your have 90 foot bases and although the rule doesn't necessarily mean the exact infield around the bases, this is 8100 sq ft. In softball, you have shorter bases, 60 ft or so league dependent, approx. 3600 sq ft or so and therefore a smaller area (once again I understand it is not just the cicumference). If the rule is in place to stop a double play, does this not make sense considering the samller field? Please any thoughts.
