·         Major Baseball Rule Change

·         Rule 6.05(b) in the Baseball Rule Book has been amended to read:

·         6.05 - A batter is out when -
(b) Little League (Majors)/Junior/Senior/Big League –
(1) a third strike is legally caught by the catcher;
(2) a third strike is not caught by the catcher when first base is occupied before two are out. Minor League and Tee Ball: A third strike is caught or not caught by the catcher. Option: A local league may elect to apply the Minor League and Tee Ball rule for the Little League (Major Division) for the regular season.

·         Residence Eligibility Requirements for all divisions of play has been amended to read, in part:

·         Residence shall be established and supported by documents, dated or in force between February 1, 2011 (previous year) and February 1, 2012 (current year), from THREE OR MORE of the following categories to determine residency of such parent(s) or guardian:

·         Summary and Implementation: For the 2012 season, this requires players’ parents or guardians to provide residency documentation dated or in force between February 1, 2011 (previous year) and February 1, 2012 (current year). This means, for instance, that a Driver’s License that was issued a number of years earlier, but was in force between the dates noted, is acceptable. However, a utility bill that is dated outside of the dates noted, is not acceptable.

Umpires Meeting Feb 13th at 7pm at Straw Hat in Brentwood 

We are having an Umpire Meeting on Monday, Feb.13th @ the Brentwood Straw Hat on Lone Tree Way by Winco from 7-9pm. We will have all paperwork needed for you to umpire in the upcoming 2012 season. IMPORTANT:  ANYBODY UNDER 18 MUST HAVE THEIR PARENT/ GUARDIAN WITH THEM AS I WILL NEED THEIR SIGNATURES ON TWO FORMS. Please bring your volunteer application, Also, we need you to know or bring your Social Security number with you. I do NOT need your card. This is for the W-9 form you MUST fill out in order to get paid. The pay scale has not been set for 2012 as of yet, but I will know that before our meeting. This will be an informational meeting ONLY. I will explain all forms before you fill them out. It actually only takes about 20 minutes to fill out the necessary paperwork. If everybody shows up on time (7pm) it should only take about 1 1/2 hours. Straw Hat will be open during this time in case you want pizza or soda.
