Minutes
of the NL Managers meeting follows
(NOTE: These rules are for the NL, and not yet adopted by the AL):
The infield fly rule will be in effect for all games. For example:
Runners on first and second or bases loaded
There
are less than two outs
Pop
fly is hit to an infielder and that ball can be caught
The
batter is automatically out and
Runners
advance at their own risk
In
order for a team to take players off the fence, a minimum of six
players from that team must be present. Otherwise, the game will
be forfeited.
When
running to second or third base, the runner’s foot MUST BE
DOWN, either on the bag - the line - or past the line BEFORE the
ball hits the glove.
If
a ball hit back to the mound, hits the glove - then the screen,
it’s a live ball.
With
less than two strikes on the batter, if the ball hits the screen,
without hitting the pitchers glove, it’s a strike. With two
strikes on the batter, hitting the screen again will be a dead ball.
Batter cannot strike out by hitting the screen.
This
year will be a split season. The first half of the season will end
12/25/10. The second half of the season will be when it normally
ends.
At
the end of both seasons, the first place teams of each League will
play each other. If the same team won both seasons, there will be
a round robin, with all three National teams participating, to decide
the championship.

The meeting was
held on Wednesday, June 16th to receive the commissioners’
decision on assigning players to each League.
Roger
Van Praet Al Romano
Dom Calderone Joe Calderone
Jim Herhusky John Bellavia
Andy Anderson Ron Lipovich
There
are 72 paid members in the League. The breakdown is as follows:
• 42 American League members
• 30 National League members
Three
American League players agreed to move to the National League,
which sets the numbers at:
• 39 American League players
• 33 National League players
Since
33 players are not enough to fill three teams, Roger and Jim volunteered
to move to the National League, if no other solution could be found.
A
proposal was made to set the schedule up to have the American League
play all early games and the National League play the late games.
This would provide a pool of American League players for play in
the National League if they wanted to, in order to make up a complete
team.
Dom felt that with the following conditions, the National League
would be viable.
With
a change in the schedule, there would be a pool of American League
players that if needed, could play, if they wanted to. This is conditional,
if there are National league players on the fence, they will be
chosen first.
National
league players from the team not scheduled, would be alternates
for the teams scheduled.
First
choice of new players would go to the National League.
Roger
and Jim stay in the American league.
