One from today I witnessed.

A coach not knowing a rule. Now that is a new one for me.

Players not knowing the rules would be a new one for me - especially on Sunday morning

Great call by the HP umpire....and probably great patience in not running the coach.

Was this varsity, JV or middle school. The runner sure seemed to know what was going on.

This was a varsity game. One team (offense) is a solid program while the defensive team (my old HS) isn't exactly known for being a softball powerhouse.

The base runner in question is the daughter of a pair of adult players in one of the leagues I umpire, and I know they know the rules, so it makes sense she does as well.
