Text | [proposals for the League meeting] 5. The establishment of some rule to remedy the evil of pitchers purposely hitting players. It is well known that such an evil exists, and efforts should be made to wipe it out. The practice creates bad blood among players, and is inductive of harm. We suggest as a remedy that whenever a batsman be hit by the ball from the pitcher's hand while standing in his (the batsman's) position, he be entitled to a called ball, or the benefit of three unfair balls. |
