How do they do it in youth baseball? I have not been around youth baseball since I was a youth, for reference when I was a kid, we all fought over who could play center field, because Kirby Puckett was THE MAN!
Most of the baseball I umpire is played under Babe Ruth / Ripken Leagues (and travel ball coaches 12U and under usually use the same)...
