Text | A newly-worded rule in the League code is that which prevents a ball from being in play after a foul stroke; a foul ball hit not caught; a runner put out from being hit by a batted ball; and a called dead, until the ball has been plainly held by the pitcher while standing in his position, and he cannot pitch the ball legally until after he has so held the ball. This puts a stop to the trick, tried last year, of pitching the ball while the pitcher is standing outside his position, after a foul hit has been made. |
