Umpire Rule Clash Sparks Fan Debate at Ban Johnson Park
Sunday’s Leavenworth Generals vs Lawrence Green game ignited fan ire when Gilbert Francis chose Alabama Brewer to run for Stan McCurry despite Meeker’s prior agreement that McCurry could be substituted. Francis defended his decision citing the rule that a substituted runner remains in the game unless the other manager agrees otherwise. Francis noted he had already allowed a runner for McCurry and faced criticism as word spread of the formal rules.
