Alameda
Babe Ruth American League Rules |
-
Home
team in 3rd base dugout. Visiting team takes a 10 minute infield 20
minutes prior to scheduled game time. Home team takes a 10 minute
infield 10 minutes prior to game time.
-
Tie
games during the season will be continued at a later time (preferably
when the two teams meet again on a weekend).
-
During
the week, no inning can start after 8 p.m. (earlier in the beginning of
the season if it gets too dark). On weekends, no new inning can start
after 2 ½ hours (unless the game is tied or it has not gone 5 innings).
A game is over after 5 innings State if one team is ahead by 10 runs.
-
All
players who are not injured or being disciplined must play at least
three defensive innings State and bat at least once each game. If there is a
shortened game due to darkness, weather, 10 run rule, etc., there is no
penalty, but players who did not get their minimum time in the game
should start the next game, play the remainder of the missed time plus
the new game's minimum time and bat twice. If the game was not
shortened, players who did not get their minimum time in the game must
start the next game and play the entire game. Violations of this rule
should be brought to the attention of the team manager and the American
League General Manager.
-
Teams
are required to use an EH (Extra Hitter). Basically this is a 10 man
batting order with 10 starters. The EH must be shown on the line-up
card. Once a team starts a game with an EH, it must continue with the EH
for the entire game. The EH must play at least 3 defensive innings.
-
If
an injury, sickness or ejection occurs and there is no eligible
substitute on the bench, any player on the bench may take the injured,
sick or ejected player's place. For interleague play, the opposing
manager gets to select the substitute.
-
If
a team is short of players, it can play with 8. There is no automatic
out for the 9th position in the batting order. The lead-off batter just
follows the 8th position in the batting order.
-
All
players, coaches, umpires, scorekeepers and fans are to be treated with
respect. Coaches, players and fans shall not demean umpires before,
during or after the game.
-
Coaches
are responsible for removing their players for the remainder of the game
for throwing bats, helmets, gloves, etc.
-
To
prevent injury, baserunners cannot run over the catcher or other
fielder. If a baserunner does not slide or attempt to avoid contact, he
or she will be called out, and if the umpire believes the collision was
malicious (such as shoulder down or elbows out), the player will be
ejected from the game.
-
To
prevent injury, fielders cannot fake tags. Players will be warned once.
Any repetition will result in ejection from the game.
-
Drinking
of alcoholic beverages is not allowed on the field, in the stands or
anywhere near the playing field. Smoking and chewing tobacco are not
allowed on the field.
-
Please
remember that this is a youth baseball league and winning is not the
most important thing. We're here to teach good sportsmanship, the
fundamentals of baseball, courage and respect for authority. But most of
all, we're out to have fun!
