| Breakaway Base
Rule Goes Into Effect Soon
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (Oct. 3, 2006) – Local
Little Leagues have until the 2008 season to install breakaway bases for
all levels of play, if they have not already done so.
Since it takes 3,500 foot pounds of force
to dislodge a stationary base, a runner who slides into a traditional
base can be hurt quite seriously. It is time for local Little Leagues to
get rid of these, and replace them with a breakaway base system.

Little League Fast FAQ's!
1. The distance between the
pitching mound and home plate is 46 feet. The distance
between bases is 60 feet. This is 14 and 30 feet,
respectively, shorter than a Major League Baseball
diamond.
|
2. A regulation Little League game
is six innings long. Of course, extra innings are
possible to break ties. If one team gets ten runs ahead
of the other after four innings, a "mercy rule" is
invoked, and play ends.
|
3. A base runner is not allowed to
leave the base before the pitched ball crosses home
plate.
|
4. Little League umpires are
officially unpaid, although they must go through
extensive training.
|
5. Playing in Little League does
not necessarily lead to a career in pro ball. Less than
1% of all Major Leaguers ever played Little League.
Ex-Little League pros include Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver,
Carl Yastrzemski, Mark McGwire and George Brett.
|
6. Danny DeVito was not small for
his age when he played Little League. Other famous
Little Leaguers include Tom Selleck, Bruce Springsteen,
Kevin Costner, Huey Lewis, Dave Barry, Bill Bradley and
George W. Bush.
|
7. The country that has won the
most World Series is the US (27 championships), followed
by Taiwan (17 wins). In 1997, Taiwan withdrew from
Little League entirely because it disagreed with Little
League recruitment rules. Non-US teams have been world
champions 30 times.
|
8. An umpire can officiate only
once in his lifetime at the World Series.
|
9. Because of its size, California
is the only state divided into two halves, Northern and
Southern, for the purposes of state tournament play. On
the other hand, North Dakota and South Dakota are
combined at the State level.
