The Stanton Parks and Recreation Board has announced changes following the T-Brawl incident earlier this week.
Most notably, T-Ball games will no longer have a scoreboard and there will be no more T-Ball tournaments.
Also, there will be a zero-tolerance policy moving forward on verbally assaulting the umpire/referee, scorekeeper or any other game official.
Here’s the complete announcement:
For all leagues hosted by the Stanton City Park:
* There is a zero-tolerance policy on verbally assaulting the umpire/referee, scorekeeper, or any other game official. This applies to coaches, players, and spectators. Umpires should eject the offending party immediately if this rule is violated. An individual who is ejected will not be allowed to return as a coach, player, or spectator to that league for the remainder of the season.
For the Stanton Parks & Rec Baseball 2022 season, we are going to take the following actions:
* Remove scorekeeping and scoreboard access from the T-Ball league.
* The T-Ball league will no longer have a tournament.
* All T-Ball teams will be required to place the players at their assigned positions. We will no longer allow “player grouping” during games.
Here’s what happened earlier this week in case you haven’t seen it:
This fight at a Powell County, Kentucky tee-ball game deserves the JR and King treatment. Pathetic! @JRsBBQ @JerryLawler pic.twitter.com/F33p3y9xt6
