Diamond Defined: League To Line Drive
From the 2006 book, The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated, by David Nemec, I will present Rule 2 of the Code - the definitions of baseball terms - over the course of the 2012 baseball season. Today’s terms are: League, League President, Legal/Legally, Live Ball, Line Drive.
League – a group of clubs whose teams play each other in a prearranged schedule under these rules for the league championship.
League President – shall enforce the official rules, resolve any disputes involving the rules, and determine any protested games. The league president may fine any player, coach, manager or umpire for violation of these rules, at her discretion.
Legal/Legally – in accordance with these rules.
Live Ball – a ball which is in play.
Line Drive – a batted ball that goes sharp and direct from the bat to a fielder without touching the ground.
