[discussing the upcoming rules committee meeting] George Wright, the old Boston shortstop, offers a suggestion that pitchers and catchers be not compelled to bat. This rule would leave it optional with a club whether to allow their battery to take their proper turn at the bat or to allow seven men to do their batting.
