Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4155955, member: 7511"] Appreciate the clarification. I would make the point that there is no provision for a baseball umpire to correct something not specifically covered under the rules. The “travesty of the game” rule, is an actual rule that was put in place by Baseball in 1911 to correct one specific issue: running the bases in reverse order. It is not as you suggest a blanket catchall to correct any and all egregious actions not otherwise covered under the existing rules of baseball. [/QUOTE]
