"A runner cannot be put out in using all possible means of making one base, when a baulk is made by the pitcher."

Sources

Knickerbocker Rule #19, adopted September 23, 1845. Referenced in Peter Morris, A Game of Inches (2010), p. 14.

Comment

The presence of a balk rule in the original rules indicates that pitchers were using all possible means to prevent runners from moving from base to base.
