Massachusetts Rules Baseball (ball, game)

[AuburnAL]

Most of the old Massachusetts Rules weren't that great in my opinon. However, I do wish they'd bring back the ability to get a runner out by hitting them with the ball. Even with the softer ball they used I guess it caused too manu injuries in the old days, but with modern protective equipment (helmet with faceguard, shin/forearm pards, elbow/knee pads, and the kevlar vests like bullrider wear) I think you could make it relatively safe to play a game with this rule instituted.
