Dear

ongoing with all of your e-mails of praise, I just received a letter
in the mail from Little League Baseball, Incorporated demanding that
I remove The Official Rules and Regulations from The Official
Brookside Little League Website!
I
have been getting ALOT of email from you people with your sympathy
and the anger towards Little League Inc.
PLEASE,
PLEASE, PLEASE

Who's on First? Who Wants to
Know, and Why?

This summer Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty of Alexandria got
a glimpse of secrecy where he least expected it -- not at the
Pentagon but on a baseball diamond where his 8-year-old son, Sam,
played Little League.
A ball struck third base and rolled wide, and
Hilferty, as acting umpire, was unsure what call to make. He declared
it foul, then reversed himself when challenged by another dad. That's
when he decided he'd better get a copy of the official Little League
rule book.
That evening he turned to the league's Web site. To
his surprise, the rules were not to be found there. More surprising
still, he learned that the official rule books were no longer made
available to bookstores or sporting-goods stores.
Full
Story Here
Some of you may recall a few years ago Little League
Inc. demanded I remove this site as I was breaking Copyright Laws.
When I removed the site and explained why to all my visitors -
letters came to me by the thousands with disgust towards Litlle
League Inc. I then came up with the idea to quote the pages of
"The Official Little League Rules and Regulations" as it is
indicated on this page. The whole site is in between quotes.
However - I just recieved this email March 4, 2006:
re: https://www.angelfire.com/ia3/littleleaguerules/officialrules.htm
