First of all, if anyone could point me in the direction of where I could find a high school baseball rule book I would appreciate it. I tried looking up the answer to my questions but couldn't locate a rule book.
I was at a local high school game the other night and two things happened that caught my eye.
The field had a very small backstop which allowed the fans to sit close to the field well within earshot of the players, coaches, and umpires. About halfway thorugh the game I realized that a group of students were heckling some of the visiting players. Some of the heckling was done using the players name, I didn't really think it was a big deal as this will most definitely occur at the next level of baseball. I was just wondering if fans are allowed to call players by name in a negative fashion like this.
Next question.
A player comes in to pitch and looks to have some type of wrist injury because he is wearing an ace bandage on his glove hand that is visible by about 5-6 inches below his glove. The opposing coach argues that the pitcher isnt allowed to pitch while wearing the bandage. I believe he was told that since it was due to a medical condition, the bandage was legal. I had never heard this before and was wondering if this a rule as well.
As always thanks for everyones knowledge and opinions.
