Hey Sportsman, I was thinking about your little hidden ball scenario and come to the conclusion that it wasn't only classless but illegal. You said they called timeout and the coach went out to the mound. If I'm not mistaken, a time out is only broken when a pitcher toes the rubber. In order to do that he has to have the ball. If he toed the rubber and the SS or 2B had the ball, then its a balk. I would tell the losing coach to file a protest. Then you would really be sticking your nose in and ruffling feathers.

Keep that in mind in case one of your boys is watching draggin flies and meanders off a base and gets tagged out.
