Breakaway Base Rule Goes Into Effect

WILLIAMSPORT, PA (October 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.

So now is the time to get this important project done!

The new rule appeared in the 2006 baseball and softball rule books of Little League:

Rule 1.06:Beginning with the 2008 season, it will become mandatory that all leagues utilize bases that disengage their anchor. Leagues are encouraged to begin the process of implementing these types of base systems during the current season on all their fields so that the process is completed by the 2008 season.

Progressive Release®
bases are designed to help reduce the chance of injury from uncontrolled slides. They are "Made in the USA" of durable, cut-resistant polyurethane that "flexes" to absorb energy as the player slides into the base with enough force. This may pop the base free or release it from its mount. This progressive release® action may help reduce the incidence of sliding injuries.

Soft Touch ® Bases
are very rugged. They are molded from durable, cut-resistant polyurethane. Proven in over 15 years of play, progressive release® bases regularly outperform standard bases and are fully warranted against failure due to defective materials for a full playing season.
